My Dear Butler

Summary:

The Elliots don’t do subtle. For Tessa’s 18th birthday, they throw a gala so extravagant it could fund a small country. The continent's elite swarm the estate with gifts, toasting a girl they don’t know and don’t care to understand. Tessa endures it all like she always does—silent, smiling, and seething. But for a girl like her whose only real friends are the dear drones she pulled from the dump, it’s a nightmare.

By the time she disappears from the party, no one notices. Except for N.

He tracks her to the balcony, hidden from the eyes inside. She’s drunk, barely able to stand, and furious at the world. What should’ve been a simple task of trying to get her back to the party escalates into something more.

Words are exchanged, thoughts revealed, and actions are taken that change the nature of their very relationship and the future to come.
