The Lady and the Footman — Wilma Counts

THERE'S NO ACCOUNTING FOR ATTRACTION...
Twenty-four and unattached, Lady Allyson Crossleigh considers herself happily free of the marriage mart frenzy. If she has her way -- and she usually does -- her future will be one of independence and adventure. But adventure comes sooner than expected after an attempt to kidnap her is foiled by a handsome laborer whom Allyson's father then hires to protect her. Having Nathan Christopher shadowing her every move is at first infuriating -- yet as she begins to know him better, Allyson feels her heart opening up...to a man Society will never accept!

...AND NO DENYING TRUE LOVE
Nathan Christopher Thornton is a gentleman with plans -- and trolling the ton for a wife isn't among them. So he's at a bit of a loss when he finds himself acting as protector to one of Society's most attractive ladies. On medical leave from the army, Nathan agreed to assist the Earl of Rutherford with some delicate undercover work which has since come to include watching over the man's daughter. At first, Lady Allyson is merely a very pretty nuisance -- yet she soon becomes a great deal more. And if Nathan thought concealing his true identity was difficult, keeping his love under wraps will be even more so...
