His reward: lavish tips and a closet full of cashmere. Then a client's after-hours entertainment ends in a tabloid scandal, and Anthony quickly becomes the city's best-dressed unemployed person...In desperation Anthony takes a position in the countryside as personal butler to Lord Shanderson. As a former royal footman, Anthony is well versed in the peerage's peculiar ways. But Castle Beadale conceals an abundance of intrigue behind its stately doors. On the surface Lord Shanderson is a model English gentleman - with a few personal interests that Anthony is sure the absent Lady Shanderson knows nothing about. But when the horrendously high-maintenance Lady Shanderson returns, tempers will flare, secrets will be exposed, and Anthony must decide whether the perks of privilege he's enjoyed are worth the price he's compelled to pay....\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098570670320,"sku":"2940170844210","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170844210_p0.jpg?v=1763719808","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170844210","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
