A Gentleman's Gentleman
by TJ Alexander
Under the terms of his late father's will, Christopher, the eccentric Earl of Eden, must marry by the end of the Season or lose his fortune and estate. He has no interest in a wife, and he is also guarding a secret about who he is. In London he takes on a new valet, James Harding, a stickler for tradition who becomes an unexpected friend. As the wedding deadline nears, their bond deepens into something neither can safely name. A tender, slow-burn Regency romance.
