Lord Frederick Herrington is lost. He was lost in the sea of his friends at university, lost in the orders he followed as an officer in the army, most certainly lost where anything romantic is concerned, and beyond lost when it comes to saving his estate from the ruin his father made of it. As far as he sees it, the one thing he absolutely must do is to find a way to restore the fortunes of his earldom and to keep the property from being sold off. But how?

Lord Reese Howsden, Marquess of Albany, is a man of power with confidence to spare. His estate and investments are thriving, his adored son has secured the continuation of the family line, and he knows who and what he is. He knows what he wants as well, and what he wants is Freddy. With an esteemed title and close friends to protect him from scorn and scandal, all he needs to do is open Freddy's eyes to the love that has been simmering under the surface between them for years. But when?

When Reese hosts an American cattle baron and his "dollar princess" daughter for a house party that mixes business and pleasure, he inadvertently provides Freddy with a way to boost his fortunes. But will the solution be worse than the problem, especially as Freddy's eyes are open to the truth about what his heart really wants? Or will he discover an alternative path and a love worth giving everything up for?

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Steam level – very spicy! And yes, this is an m/m romance, so if that's not your thing, feel free to pass on this one.
