Description
London, 1886
Barkeep Warren Bakshi is happy with the secrets that he keeps—those of the patrons he serves at underground queer club The Curious Fox, and his own.
But when Warren’s long-lost brother returns, bringing unexpected wealth to the Bakshi family, his elevated status requires more dignified pursuits. An art class seems an ideal way to keep questions at bay, until it reunites him with the subject of his recent fantasies—a man Warren’s boss has expressly forbidden him to pursue.
Detective Inspector Matthew Shaw has brought some of London’s worst criminals to justice. With laws against homosexuality on the books, meeting Warren could detonate his undercover case—and his career. But when his artistic deficiencies prove a greater threat than his desire, Warren is the only person he can turn to for help.
Private drawing tutorials give way to an affair that may put more than their jobs in jeopardy. But real life is infinitely more complicated and surprising than any lessons could prepare them for…

Featured Reviews

This was such a sweet and endearing read! I have loved this series so much and Jess continues to write the most wonderful couples.
From the beginning, I was always hoping we would see Warren find his match and while it took some trials to get there, Matty is the absolute perfect companion for him. The backstories of both men were so well thought out and helped weave together the two of them in present day. I loved seeing the biological family and found family begin to mesh together in this one too were are previous books focused more solely on found family.
I was sooo nervous with some parts of the last 100ish pages. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if something truly bad was going to happen but alas, everything worked out (although I wished parts were addressed more instead of being brushed over and saying “everything’s fine! Nothing to worry about!”)
I would highly recommend this series and this one is no exception!!
Thank you to the author and publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
