This is a clean, standalone short story with HEA ending.

Greenview Manor is a pleasant estate, and belongs to the well-respected Honeyfield family. Employed there are only the finest workers, including Miss Bannerman. When Mr. Honeyfield finally seeks to replace his butler, the entire household, including Miss Bannerman, is surprised when he hires Mr. Clarke, a young and handsome man. He soon discovers a family with a broken past and deep affection for one another.

Miss Bannerman and Mr. Clarke immediately take an interest in one another, but fear what their fellow servants or the master of the house will think of their relationship. They go to great lengths to conceal it, and in the end, it proves to be a detrimental mistake.

What will Mr. Honeyfield say if he discovers their secret? Will they ever be able to be together, and not have their relationship be limited to stolen moments, passing by one another in the halls?
