Behind These Doors

<p><strong>A Lambda Literary Awards Finalist for Bisexual Fiction (2019)</strong></p><p>London 1906</p><p>Lucien Saxby is a journalist writing for the society pages. The Honourable Aubrey Fanshawe second son of an earl <em>is</em> Society. They have nothing in common until a casual encounter leads to a crisis.</p><p>Aubrey isn’t looking for love. He already has it in his long-term clandestine relationship with Lord and Lady Hernedale. And Lucien is the last man Aubrey should want. He’s a commoner raised in service socially unacceptable. Worse he writes for a disreputable gossip-hungry newspaper. Aubrey can’t afford to trust him when arrest and disgrace are just a breath away. </p><p>Lucien doesn’t trust nobs. Painful experience has taught him that working people simply don’t count to them. Years ago he turned his back on a life of luxury so his future wouldn’t depend on an aristocrat’s whim. Now thanks to Aubrey he’s becoming entangled in the risky affairs of the upper classes antagonising people who could destroy him with a word. </p><p>Aubrey and Lucien have too much to hide—and too much between them to ignore. Rejecting the strict rules and closed doors of Edwardian society might lead them both to ruin… but happiness and integrity alike demand it.  </p>
