Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this romance, a butler falls in love with his master's snooty daughter who will have nothing to do with him because he is but a commoner. The butler's life is about to dramatically change when he learns that he is to be the next Duke of Marlow. He keeps that news to himself as he wants the girl to love him for himself--not his title. When a married gangster from Chicago visits the household, the girl falls head-over-heels for him and readily agrees to rush off to Paris with him and elope. Unfortunately, she is dismayed to discover upon their arrival that marriage is not exactly what the gangster had on his mind. Fortunately, the devoted valet rescues her causing her to reevaluate him as a potential mate. They marry. After the ceremony, the butler tells her the truth about his social standing.
