Once a servant... now the master.
The Adventures of the St. Claire Servants Book 1
Kit Chevalier has a serious problem. She's loved Max St. Clair, her sinfully handsome guardian, since she was a child of six and he a young man of nineteen. But now he stubbornly refuses to notice that she's grown into a woman. Armed with a few shocking secrets from Max's servant, Kit sets out to persuade him she is no longer a child.
Long ago, Max was a servant himself, indentured like all St. Clair princelings to a noble family in order to teach them humility... and how to best pleasure their masters in bed. Once indentured to Kit's parents, he is now pledged to protect Kit-and her virtue-until he can honorably hand her off to a suitable husband.
And hand her off he will. Quickly, before he loses his weakening resolve to keep his own hands off her. The last thing he wants to do is expose the fragile beauty to the carnal appetites of his ancient line.
But Max underestimates Kit's resolve-and the passionate fire that burns within her-which is every bit a match for his own.
