Stephen Chatham is everything Jo Leather ever wanted. Despite Stephen's tragic past, he's kind, brilliant, and the best employer Jo's ever had. Falling for him was easy. Stopping him from discovering that Jo is actually Josephine--and keeping him from hating her when the truth inevitably comes out? That will be infinitely more difficult.
Stephen doesn't have much experience with love, but he's known enough betrayal to last two lifetimes. Emotion doesn't come easily to him. Neither does passion. But for reasons he can't fathom, his valet--his very male valet--stirs both in him. Is he losing his mind--or is he falling in love with his servant?
Caught between their desire and society's expectations, can Jo and Stephen find their way to happily ever after? Or is the distance between their worlds--and hearts--simply too great to bridge?
