Lord of the House. The House of Held Doors, #5

Some oaths are meant to be broken. And some were never meant to end. For generations, the House di Fiorelli has endured-through war, loss, and quiet sacrifice. But endurance is no longer enough. Elias Rowe has spent a lifetime in service, holding doors for others while asking nothing for himself. Yet beneath the surface of the Palazzo di Fiorelli, something older stirs-an oath sworn long ago, a legacy buried deeper than memory, and a truth that refuses to remain hidden.
Now, as war gathers and rival powers circle what remains of the great di Fiorelli family's legacy, he stands alone as the last hope of a great house on the brink of collapse. As secrets come to light and the past reaches forward to claim the present, Elias and Cecily di Fiorelli are drawn together by something neither of them can deny-and both of them fear. Because if Elias claims what is rightfully his.everything will change.
Lord of the House is the sweeping, emotional conclusion to The House of Held Doors-a slow-burn gaslamp fantasy romance about duty, identity, and the courage to finally choose love.
