Twas the Night

London, 1820

Christmas evening should be a time spent with loved ones, gathered around the Yule log or playing merry games. Percival Owens' evening, however, will be marked by something entirely different…

Percy yearns for the nights when he can kneel before his lover, even though no self-respecting gentleman willingly submits to another. Michael Barlow wants his first Christmas with Percy to be perfect, but is frustrated by Percy's inability to ask for what he wants. The gift Michael offers Percy—and that Percy offers in return—is the best Percy could ever hope to receive: his will to submit.
