An eccentric Earl hires an actor to help him seduce his wife. My name is Henry, Earl of Freemont and I am an eccentric. My inability to read people’s expressions makes it difficult for me to connect with strangers. When I met Charlotte , I knew she was the woman I wanted to marry. Unlike the other society ladies, she treated me like a man and not as an aberration. I was excited to start my new life with her, but our wedding night proved a disaster. Determined to find a way to make things right between us, I hired Trick, an actor, to help me woo my wife. After the first time Trick kissed me, things became complicated. I still loved Charlotte and desired her like no other. But I desired Trick as well.

The Eccentric Earl: Henry and Charlotte . . . and Trick
Well done! While the story certainly falls under "erotic romance," it's more than just "buggering," lol. The arc of emotional connection among the characters is delicate and organic and believable.
