Michael St. James hates
tidewater post-Colonial Virginia with a passion. Banished there thanks to an
ill-timed duel, Michael is bored with the countryside, and thinks his new
companions are poorly-educated boors. What he needs is a challenge, something
to stimulate his mind. Which is why, when Michael meets Daniel Calhoun, he
takes such an immediate interest.
Daniel Calhoun is a
gentleman farmer who has no time for the social niceties demanded by a man of
his station any more than he has patience for changing fashion or politics.
When he sees Michael St. James, Daniel sees a man with no substance, and he's
certainly not interested in becoming friends, or more, with the irritating man.
There's more to Michael than meets the eye, as Daniel soon discovers, and the
two embark on a scorching affair that might just be the ruin of both of them.
Can they find a way to be together, or will Daniel and Michael be forced to
hide what they feel?
This title was previously
published under the same title. Two-thousand words have been added to the text
for the second edition.

Oh gosh, this is so very good. Julia Talbot gave this story such a good historical voice. I felt I was back in time with these men.
Daniel is a squire that loves his land and sister. His sister married into substance and She drags him to socials with her. He meets Michael a new man of substance with secrets.
Michael's father has sent him there as a punishment for his sins. He decides the arrogant squire is fun to poke (and wants to poke in more ways than one).
Julia Talbot gave this story such a good historical voice. I felt I was back in time with these men. I loved all the characters, the setting, the story, and oh wow did the ending surprise me!
Austin Jay did a pretty good job with the narration. I did like listening to the story and his voice was a perfect old-time cowboy voice.
If you like historical western, witty characters, a twist of an ending, (think Brokeback Mountain with a HEA) you will love this. I suggest the audio if you can get it!
