The Earl Who Isn't

Andrew Uchida has a secret: he is heir to an earldom he wants absolutely nothing to do with. All he wants is to be left alone in Wedgeford to grow long beans and avoid the world his birthright would drag him into. His best friend Lily Bei, a socially awkward, determined suffragist, has other plans the moment she uncovers the truth: she intends to make him claim the earldom whether he likes it or not.

Complicating everything is the passionate moment the two of them shared before Lily was sent away to Hong Kong, left unresolved and unspoken between them ever since. As Lily pushes Andrew toward a title he doesn't want, the two best friends have to reckon with what they never let themselves say to each other.
