Claimed By The Ruthless Duke: A Reluctant Master and Servant Regency Historical Romance

Young, ambitious, and painfully aware of his station, he enters service under the most feared aristocrat in the county - Lord Alistair Blackwood, Duke of Thorne. Cold, exacting, and intolerant of imperfection, the Duke rules his household with an iron will and an unyielding devotion to order.

Assigned as the Duke’s personal valet, Thomas finds himself drawn into an intense orbit of control, discipline, and relentless expectation. Every task is a test. Every mistake carries consequences far more personal than he ever imagined. What begins as rigid service becomes something far more dangerous as silent glances, punishing standards, and forbidden intimacy blur the lines between duty and desire.

For the Duke, perfection is survival. For Thomas, surrender may be the only way to endure.

In a world governed by hierarchy, reputation, and ruthless discipline, devotion is not asked for - it is taken.
