Seemingly inseparable, Fitzwilliam Burton and William Hunt are torn apart by circumstance - Fitz remains at his family’s manor, Will leaves for a career in the navy, hoping to make his fortune.
What follows is a decade of Will’s unanswered letters and Fitz’s half formed guilt. That is until the two are reunited in London and they both quickly realize the difference ten years makes.
Fitz took his place as the fashionable gentleman everyone knew he would become, distinguished as much for his good name, good looks, and good fortune as for his aversion towards romance. The once scrawny Will became the dashing Captain Hunt, famed leader of the Autolycus and now eligible bachelor. Constricted by the rules of polite society, the two men maneuver around their broken friendship, coincidental reacquaintance, and undeniable attraction.
As they relearn what it means to share their lives with each other amidst rising jealousies and persistent denial, can their mutual secrets transform into mutual understanding or will their forbidden love remain unsaid?
“The Gentleman’s Captain” is a romance set in England’s Regency era, when being gentlemanly is a full time job and being in love is a much desired, sometimes abandoned, luxury. In the war of affections, one’s self is often the greatest enemy. That, and handsome young lords named Henry.
