From the acclaimed author of Chef's Kiss, a groundbreaking trans Regency romance that's both delightfully witty and refreshingly iconoclastic.
“A Gentleman's Gentleman is a thoroughly charming confection of a romance. If you're looking for a tender, gentle slow burn, this is the book for you.” —Cat Sebastian, author of We Could Be So Good
The notoriously eccentric Lord Christopher Eden is a "man of unusual make" and even more unusual habits: he prefers to live far from the prying eyes and ears of the ton, and would rather have the comfortable company of his childhood cook and his aged butler than the swarm of servants and hangers-on befitting a man of his station.
But Christopher's pleasant, if occasionally lonely life is upended when he receives word from his lawyers that, according to his late father's will, he must find a wife by the end of the Season if he intends to keep his family's fortune and the Eden estate. Christopher cannot imagine a worse fate: as he isn't attracted to women, his chances of making a wife happy are slim.
Furthermore, if his quest to marry has any hope of succeeding, he must move to London posthaste and acquire some more suitable staff. Enter James Harding, Christopher's new, distractingly handsome—if rigidly traditional—valet. After a rocky start, the two strike up a fragile friendship amid the throes of the London Season . . . a friendship that threatens to shatter under the looming shadow of Christopher's impending nuptials—and the secrets both men are keeping.
With its heady combination of dry wit, slow-burn romance, and a nuanced portrait of trans identity, A Gentleman's Gentleman stands to transform the historical romance genre as we know it.

2025 queer romances that SHOULD’VE been nominated the goodreads choice awards
It's no surprise that the Romance category of the Goodreads Choice Awards this year is lacking in queer books (especially sapphic and trans rep!) So I put together a list of some queer romances that released this year and should have been nominated.

Just a girl and her #indiebookstoreday haul
I started off the week with some early celebration at @tomorrowbookstore where I grabbed A Gentleman’s Gentleman, Reign and Ruin (which is an indie fantasy that’s been on my TBR forever), and The Gods Time Forgot. And then yesterday, my curiosity got the best of me and I picked up The Never List which is a why-choose romance that a friend has been raving about.
On another note, I went into yesterday with a lot of anxiety. Trying to balance sustainability, responsibility, and growth as a small business owner is one of the hardest things to do. We’ve made some big bets over the last few months and I definitely felt the pressure of trying to ensure those things don’t come back to bite us or put us in a position that jeopardizes our growing team’s livelihood. And the news of the other two sales going on kind of got to me.
But, our community showed up for us in a way that almost made me cry multiple times. We had our best indie bookstore day and best sales day EVER. Yesterday felt like a warm hug and I hope all of my other indie friends felt the same energy.
I love you all and I love indie bookstores.
