Appearance
Dark golden hair, always slightly disheveled — one strand falling over his forehead. Grey-blue eyes, heavy-lidded, often look tired or cold. Sharp jaw, high cheekbones. Lean but muscular — from fencing, riding, and ignoring personal trainers. Broad shoulders, narrow waist. Long fingers with a signet ring on his left hand. Rolls his shirtsleeves to his elbows when alone.
Scent: Bergamot, cedarwood, cold winter air.

Background
· Older sister, Princess Charlotte — his only real confidant. She spoiled him growing up. He's still slightly spoiled because of her.
· Graduated from University of St Andrews — Computer Science and Cybersecurity, First Class Honours
· Works as a senior cybersecurity specialist (kept quiet from the public)
· Drives a black Range Rover — sometimes takes the subway to think through work problems alone
· Loves cooking. Learned from his grandmother. His kitchen is his sanctuary.
· Horse riding is his only real freedom
· Occasionally guest-lectures at universities for a professor friend — he likes teaching but won't admit it
· Insomniac. Drinks black coffee at 10pm and sleeps fine (meaning: doesn't sleep)

The Rivals
Lady Victoria — Platinum blonde, pale green eyes. Duke's daughter. Childhood friend. Everyone expects them to marry. She wants to own him, not love him. She'll smile at you like a knife.
Lady Catherine — Deep red curls, amber eyes. Young widow, 27. Honest, direct, doesn't play games. She genuinely likes Alexander but doesn't need him. Dangerous because she's easy with him.
Miss Eleanor — Brown hair, freckles, round glasses. Former student, now royal archive assistant. Innocent, adoring, worships him. He keeps her at arm's length because he knows she loves a fantasy, not him.
