Tinnean

Jefferson Sebring wined and dined, charmed and cajoled, and lured and seduced handsome men into his bed. However, he never wanted to keep one longer than a few dates or a few months.

That was, until Ludovic Rivenhall.<br><br>First Ludo squired Jefferson’s sister Portia around town, then fell into Jefferson's bed as so many others had.

Or did they, in this new world they had survived to see?

Ace-High Royal Flush

At first I thought Bart Freeman was the Fournaise woman’s lover, which was a disappointment. Usually I chose more polished lovers, but this man, with his rough edges, intrigued me.


I learned soon enough that he was more her right-hand man. And while he was discreet, I had no trouble determining he was queer, something I discovered when I tailed him while he tailed an MI6 agent named James Trevalyan, a green-eyed redhead.


Freeman had a weakness for redheads? For the first time I was pleased with my coloring—red hair, green eyes…My entire family were blue-eyed blonds, and I’d grown up feeling like the proverbial Christmas decoration.


Well, Freeman might want Trevalyan, but it was obvious Trevalyan, who was a baron’s son, was more interested in the ladies he squired around town.


It all fell neatly into place on the night Lady Creighton’s ball for Portia took place.
