Jaime has two never reveal the truth about his past or admit his last name. After losing nearly everything as a child and burying his Aunt and Uncle as a teenager, he's spent years drifting. He'd like to marry an abundant male, settle down, and have children. No more court life or treachery for him.
Until the night he's accused of theft and forced to flee his job. He didn't expect to literally run into Aleric Monet, the beautiful abundant male and future heir to the Monet Earldom.
Aleric

When he takes Jaime as an aid, it's only for protection and maybe a couple of benefits with Aleric holding all of the control. Aleric won't break his rule, not even for Jaime who makes him want to submit and do everything he swore he'd never do again.
