An imprisoned heart finds escape in forbidden love.
No pride. No privacy. No hope.
Academic John Gilliam thought being caught embracing another man was the worst that could happen. Until he agrees to โtreatmentโ at an asylum, where a vicious attack leaves him shaken and afraid.
But having all means of writing or reading taken from himโฆ That is a serious threat to his sanity. Then a moment of kindness from an asylum attendant begins to restore his dignity.
Sam Tully feels sorry for the patient everyone calls โthe professorโ, but with a back injury that cost him his job on the docksโand without the education that would have bettered his positionโhe tries to keep his head down, and a tight lid on his attraction to men.
As John prays for freedom, he grows closer to the gentle, innately intelligent Tully. In spite of themselves, forbidden attraction leads to touches, kisses, and more. But thereโs something other than curative treatments going on at the asylum. When John and Tully uncover a heinous conspiracy, their very lives are in danger.
Warning: Contains heinous crimes and frightening treatmentsโoh, and some sweet and loving sexy times between two healthy, not-crazy men.
