Official synopsis Publisher
Forbidden love is an art all its own
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…
