My Valet

Prince Sebastian Pembroke has always preferred the quiet company of books to the clamor of royal banquets. A reluctant noble with a gentle soul, he spends his idle years dreaming of a world beyond the rigid expectations of court. When he sponsors the opening of a grand new library-his modest rebellion against a life of insignificance-he finds solace in the written word and in the steadfast presence of his valet, Daniel Pryce, whose careful hands have long been his secret comfort.

For Daniel, dressing the prince each morning has become both duty and devotion. Beneath his polished professionalism, he hides an affection that feels both impossible and inevitable. When a journey to a remote cabin isolates the two men from the watchful eyes of the court, silences once filled with longing begin to spill over with truth.
