About this book
Summary
When Thomas is caught stealing silver from a powerful Earl’s estate, he expects prison - or worse. Instead, he is offered a far more unusual bargain. Bound by debt and desperation, Thomas enters a seven-year contract of service to Lord Alistair Beaumont, a man whose world runs on control, silence, and perfection. As valet to the most severe aristocrat in London society, Thomas must submit to exacting standards, relentless scrutiny, and a master who demands absolute obedience. Every mistake is noted. Every weakness is corrected. And every moment under the Earl’s watchful gaze pulls Thomas deeper into a forbidden dynamic neither man dares name.Book information
