Publisher Description
It's been two months since Will Darling saw Kim Secretan, and he doesn't expect to see him again. What do a rough and ready soldier-turned-bookseller and a disgraced shady aristocrat have to do with each other anyway?
But when Will encounters a face from the past in a disreputable nightclub, Kim turns up, as shifty, unreliable, and irresistible as ever. And before Will knows it, he's been dragged back into Kim's shadowy world of secrets, criminal conspiracies, and underhand dealings.
This time, though, things are underhanded even by Kim standards. This time, the danger is too close to home. And if Will and Kim can't find common ground against unseen enemies, they risk losing everything.
A 1920s m/m romance trilogy in the spirit of Golden Age pulp fiction.
Customer Reviews
A story of Derring-Do
A thriller set at the end of WW1, where class distinction is greater than it is now, but it is a world where these norms are being broken down. Young people want to have fun and they want equality. It is in this new world that Will Darling, book shop owner and Kim Secretan, a lord of the realm, return with a new adventure.
Kim is still being secretive and Will is, in turn, angry, forgiving and again, willing to help Kim when he needs it. Amongst all the excitement and danger they find themselves in, they still find time to explore their feelings for each other.
This story has danger, detective work, a questionable night club, a horde of Bright Young Things who are mostly drunk most of the time, guns, knives and a sabre. And dry humour.
Loved it.
