Romance
Lowborn David Lauriston lacks the family connections needed to rise in Edinburghβs privileged legal world. Worse, his latest caseβdefending weavers accused of treasonβhas brought him under suspicion of harbouring radical sympathies. Troubled by his sexuality, tormented by memories of a man he once platonically loved, David lives a largely celibate lifeβuntil a rare sexual encounter with a compelling stranger turns his world on its head. Cynical and worldly, Lord Murdo Balfour is more at home in hedonistic London than dingy, repressed Edinburgh. Unlike David, he intends to eventually marry while continuing to enjoy the company of men whenever he pleases. Yet sex with David is different. Itβs personal, intimate, and instead of extinguishing his desire, it only leaves him hungry for more. As Davidβs search for the man who betrayed the weavers deepens, he begins to suspect that his mysterious lover has more sinister reasons for his presence in Edinburgh. The truth could leave his heart brokenβ¦and more necks stretching on the gallows. Warning: Contains mystery and danger set in 1822 Scotland, and a forbidden love between two men that will leave you on the edge of your seatβuntil the next book.
