Synopsis
Nick Andrews is back in England. He is a

through. Nick thinks that his life is over, but then Tom comes along. Tom, who
is handsome and wealthy and intent on making his acquaintance.
Nick ends up as Tom’s valet, a position
that brings him to the remote estate of Ravensleigh. At Ravensleigh, he soon
realizes that Tom and his family have a past laden with shadows. Nick regrets
coming there, but at the same time finds it harder and harder to resist Tom’s
advances.
Then one night, a stranger arrives at
Ravensleigh. And Nick’s world is turned upside down once more.

Excerpt
Two nights later, Arlington returns to
the coffee house. He doesn’t show up until late—half an hour before closing he
saunters in and sits himself down close to the fireplace. He takes a long look
around the room, removing his hat and straightening the black ribbon holding
the curls of his wig together at the neck. There’s only one other customer
left, so Nick isn’t busy. He has no excuses.
“Just a little,” Arlington says as Nick
starts pouring him coffee. “Too much of this late in the evenings and I get no
sleep until morning.” He smiles. “How about you, Mr. Andrews? Is coffee to your
taste?”
Nick looks down at his hands. “No.”
“How expected!” Arlington chuckles. His
fingertips run over the brim of the cup, tracing the edge. “Have you tried it?
Surely Mr. Goodall has offered you some?”
“Don’t want to,” Nick mutters, and
hurries away. When he enters the back room with some dirty dishes Goodall is
there, rummaging for something in a cupboard. The room is dim, and so small
that there’s barely space for both of them.
“No good, that one,” Goodall says under
his breath. As if Nick didn’t know already that Mr. Arlington is no good.
“Why?”
Goodall is quiet for a moment. “Oh, it’s
rumors,” he says at last, getting to his feet. “Nothing for a young boy like
you to hear.”
