Until Henri won't let Ned protect him from himself, that is. Take it to bed with you today.. Edward Munrow has had a change in circumstances. Ned agrees to the marriage to keep his name out of the scandal sheets, and soon enough he is meeting Lady Jane, a member of the Duke's family, and her son, Henri, the Viscount Langton. Going from being a gentleman of few means to being a wealthy land owner in less than a day is difficult enough to imagine, but being blackmailed into a marriage he doesn't want by a Duke is just too much. Add one of Ned's old lovers to the mix and the combination is unbeatable. The problem is that Langton brings out all of Ned's protective instincts, and that, along with a warning that the Duke will ruin him if he so much as lays a hand on the young man has him keeping his hands to himself. Langton is a delightful surprise for Ned, a young man just coming into his own, ripe for the sorts of debauchery Ned is best at. This Victorian romp has it all, from family intrigue to marriages of convenience and naughty fun between the sheets

Breezy, Raunchy, Tricky, Humorous OK, this is Chris Owens' only historical novel, and even though it's set in the Victorian era, it reads pretty much like a MM Regency romance. That's where the comparisons stop for the most part because the central character, Edward Munrow is such a wastrel and lay about when we first meet him that somehow it seems justified that he gets himself blackmailed into a very potent, somewhat ludi
