Butler & Heiress

The only really happy people are those who have learned to serve. Alistair Godstone has one goal in life. To break his family's tradition of being trapped into a life of servitude. With one more temporary job to finish up a family obligation, he will achieve his dream. He just has to keep up the act and wear his mask of the cold but attentive butler long enough to pay his family's medical bills. When he arrives at his new post, his entire focus and purpose change. At this mansion lives the grown woman he loved as a child. Only she's a heiress - and untouchable.

Evelyn Smythe has been dying a thousand deaths inside, secretly planning to leave England to escape a life of misery at the hands of a monster. She receives aid from an unexpected source and her life changes forever. Knowing she was falling in love with the new butler, she feels torn between leaving him behind and getting away from her arranged marriage. 

Evelyn, daughter of the baron of Smythe, has finally escaped her arranged marriage to a cruel duke she doesn't love. Except, her escape means she has to leave behind Alistair, the handsome butler she's secretly fallen for. Evie must start over without the butler she will never see again. Or so she thinks. When Alistair finds her, he convinces her to come home, but when Evie finally returns to England, she'll have to face the cruel duke who refuses to release her.

For over a year Alistair Godstone has been the Duke of Marlowe. Though he's now a wealthy nobleman, it's his wife and daughter who are most important to him. With Christmas at his lavish estate approaching, all Alistair wants to do is celebrate with his family by honoring the father he never met. But rumors start to spread that threaten to tarnish the family name. Rumors suggesting that Alistair isn't the true heir to the Marlowe title.
