You don't get anything clean, without getting something else dirty.

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.

Back in her golden cage, she discovers the unthinkable and is forced to make a choice: the wealthy duke who will secure her place in society, or the butler who will lead to her downfall.

Alistair Godstone has always known that servants don't marry noblewomen. His forbidden affair with Evelyn can never last.

When he discovers that Evie has fled England, he can't let her go. He goes after her, determined to bring her home and eventually win her heart for good. Alistair refuses to give her up again and will fight the duke for her hand if necessary - but with a secret of his own and a stunning change in fortune for both of them, a life with Evie seems out of his reach.

Can Alistair and Evie break the rules of society, or will duty force them apart forever?

This is the final book in the Butler & Heiress Series. It's a contemporary, sweet (and slightly steamy) romance that will end in an HEA. The Christmas story is an extra to enjoy!
