Waltham (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232329365)

Aristocracy. Art. Scandal.
And a love that refuses to stay hidden.

William Ashworth has spent his entire life preparing to become the next Earl of Waltham-polished, dutiful, and bound by expectations older than he is. But at a winter gallery opening in London, everything changes. Across the room he meets Douglas Jackson, a talented painter from Leeds whose warmth, honesty, and quiet confidence feel like the first breath of air William has had in years.

Their connection is instant. Their chemistry undeniable. And their worlds could not be further apart.

As William and Douglas fall into a slow-burning, deeply emotional relationship, they navigate the tensions of class, tradition, and the fragile secrecy of a love that might cost them everything. And when leaked photographs turn whispers into a full public scandal, both families are forced to confront what truly matters: reputation, legacy, or the happiness of the two young men standing at the center of it all.

Some storms are worth surviving.
Some futures are worth choosing.
And some love stories demand to be lived in the open.
