To the mysterious valet…

With nowhere else to go, penniless Sofia Guaro has been the guest of her brother’s grand British in-laws, feeling stifled. Her only escape is sneaking out to explore London with the family valet—broodingly handsome Josiah Meadows…

Josiah gets drawn back into his criminal past when he is forced to take one last mission to retrieve a painting from Cornwall—and Sofia won’t be left behind! He must resist his beguiling accomplice. After all, having sworn never to return to his own aristocratic family, can he ever be the man she deserves?

Biography

Lotte James trained as an actor and theatre director, but spent most of her life working day jobs crunching numbers whilst dreaming up stories of love and adventure. She’s thrilled to finally be writing those stories, and when she’s not scribbling on tiny pieces of paper, she can usually be found wandering the countryside for inspiration, or nestling with coffee and a book.
