Description

It's the perfect season for coming out ***

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

But Lord Christopher Eden is no ordinary man 64;

Lord Eden has always preferred the comfortable company of his staff to the prying eyes of the debutantes at the ton64;s latest soire. So, when he receives word that he must find a wife by the end of the Season, or lose his fortune, Christopher knows that he can64;t do it alone.

Enter the distractingly dashing 64; if rather stoic 64; James Harding. As Lord Eden64;s mysterious new valet, James must ensure Christopher64;s reputation appears as faultless as his cravat. But as sparks fly, and Christopher64;s deadline to find love looms, will James find himself vying for the position instead
