Blurb
A tale set in Stuart England, where the king’s life depends on his most loyal of subjects.
Anthony Redbourn, Earl of Crofton, delights in his reputation as a charming rogue. Life is never quiet at the court of King James I, especially with his good friend and secret lover, Sebastian Hewel, by his side. As an actor with the celebrated King’s Men, Sebastian has his own admirers, but neither man has eyes for anyone else.
When a plot against His Majesty is uncovered it threatens Anthony and Sebastian’s charmed lives, and they are dragged into the political intrigue and the race to save the king from danger. Fear that a traitor is linked to the King's Men leaves Sebastian and Anthony with no choice but to stage a very public dissolution of their friendship, so Anthony can be free to be the patron of a new rising actor, and Sebastian can be the prodigy of another noble.
It is a dangerous game they are playing to expose the plotters and still find a way to meet in secret, as Anthony is adamant that they will not sacrifice the love they have fought so hard to win. They will do whatever it takes to protect the king’s life, and their commitment to each other.
My Two Pennies' Worth
Oh how I adore these two. They previously appeared in the three Crofton Chronicles books, and I'd suggest you read those because they are amazing and give you oodles of backstory for where Anthony and Sebastian began. Here we get Anthony's POV as they have settled into a comfortable life together, but when the king asks a favour their life is turned upside down.
The historical element is spot on with a cracking spy story and an established couple who have worked hard to be together and will hang on to that love for all they are worth.
Highly recommended.
