The Footman is an Earl: A Steamy Regency Historical Romance (Lords in Disguise Book 1)

The Earl of Kendall, newly titled and pursued by fortune-hunting women, devises a plan to find a wife with a genuine heart. He decides to disguise himself as a footman at his friend's summer country house party, where he can meet eligible debutantes without revealing his wealth and status. Miss Frances Wharton attends the same party reluctantly, pressured by her mother to find a husband. More passionate about advocating for the poor than marriage, Frances plans to discourage suitors by behaving badly. She finds herself drawn to the kind, handsome footman she encounters repeatedly—the only person with whom she can be herself. Their connection deepens despite their apparent difference in station. When Frances discovers that the footman she loves is actually the earl she opposes, both face a difficult question: can their love survive the revelation that everything between them was built on deception? This Regency romance combines hidden-identity tension, witty dialogue, and romantic chemistry within an enemies-to-lovers framework.
