What to expect
***
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 …
Lord Eden has always preferred the comfortable company of his staff to the prying eyes of the debutantes at the ton’s latest soirée. 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 can’t do it alone.
Enter the distractingly dashing – if rather stoic – James Harding. As Lord Eden’s mysterious new valet, James must ensure Christopher’s reputation appears as faultless as his cravat. But as sparks fly, and Christopher’s deadline to find love looms, will James find himself vying for the position instead?
Don't miss the brand-new trans regency romance from the beloved author of Chef's Kiss, perfect for fans of Alexis Hall and Casey McQuiston!
Tropes:
🏳️🌈Trans romance

❌Forbidden romance
👨❤️👨Forced proximity
*Published in the USA as A Gentleman's Gentleman*

'TJ Alexander deftly handles historical romance as well as they do their contemporary work: just as queer, just as trans, just as delightfully told, with a perfect balance of humor and vulnerability.

A new personal favorite' Anita Kelly
