About this listen

Every new romance has its ups and downs . . . Its bumps in the road . . . Its blackmail notes . . .

England 1795: London gentleman Daniel Thornton has just dumped his philandering lover Clarence. He moves to Grantham to care for his ailing uncle and nurse a broken heart. The move he hopes will be a fresh start—a place to discover himself and perhaps a new way of seeing the world.

Luke Morley is a draper's son struggling to accept his sexuality. He has withdrawn into a world of fantasy, but with the arrival of Mr. Thronton this private world is shattered. Grantham's most eligible bachelor is everything Luke has ever dreamed of. After months of silent admiration, he determines to introduce himself.

Reenter Clarence, who arrives to win back his old lover. When Daniel rejects him again, he is not about to take it lying down . . .

A blackmail note appears—a demand that Daniel marry one of Luke's sisters. A demand that he fulfill Luke's sexual desires. Daniel saw young Mr. Morley leave the note on his mantle.

The note is from Luke. Isn't it?

Contains mature themes.

Good start, but...
