His Darling Duke by E.E. Silver

A duke with too many responsibilities. The beautiful young man in his employ. A romance that should never be.

Jonathan is too busy as the new Duke of Norcrest to look for a spouse, much less worry about his wards. Desperate, he hires Conrad, an omega of modest means, to take care of the two young orphans. Conrad challenges and delights Jonathan daily, and it’s not long before they’re both hopelessly smitten.

Conrad has been looking forward to a life of solitude and scholarly pursuits, until he falls in love with his alpha employer. He knows their relationship will bring gossip, but for the chance at love and to have children of his own with a man like Jonathan, Conrad’s willing to take the risk.

After a scandalous rushed wedding, they’re forced to face reality. Conrad knows he’s to blame as Jonathan struggles to maintain the necessary businesses to keep his family afloat, though Jonathan won’t admit it. Isolated and snubbed by Society, Conrad hides his own problems rather than add to his husband’s. And without a child of their own to keep them together, they may never close the distances always meant to keep them apart.
