by Hayden Thorne
James Ellsworth is a bit jaded, especially for
his young age. He hates school, and longs for his parents’ estate,
where life is far more pleasant. Meeting new schoolmate Daniel Courtney
is a much-needed distraction, one that will prove more and more
engrossing as James and Daniel grow older.
When his father
dies, James is thrust into a position of responsibility, not just to
his estate, but to his mother and sister as well. He leans as much as
he can on his friendship with Daniel, but young Courtney has his own
problems. His brother, George, is all Daniel has left in the world, and
when he loses his brother to a freak accident, Daniel is left alone and
without prospects.
All the while, the two young men are
discovering a relationship that their Victorian world will never
approve of. Trying to deal with their loss and their love drives them
apart - James to a life of debauchery, Daniel to a life of study and
work.
As they grow older, James and Daniel discover that life
is not what they thought it would be when they were schoolboys
together, and that, even as they try to make their own way, they always
come back to one another. Can they find a way to make things work, no
matter what their friends and family think?
