Description
A PASTE MUST-READ ROMANCE BOOK OF 2023"Readers will want to savor every word of Everlee's splendid debut, the launch of her Lucky Lovers of London series, like a fine vintage wine."
--Booklist, on The Gentleman's Book of Vices
Jess Everlee follows up her sparkling debut The Gentleman's Book of Vices with this charming queer historical romp, in which two lifelong best friends find romance as they join forces to save the one place where they can truly be themselves.
London, 1885
David Forester and Noah Clarke have been best friends since boarding school. All grown up now, clever, eccentric Noah is Savile Row's most promising young tailor, while former socialite David runs an underground queer club, The Curious Fox.
Nothing makes David happier than to keep the incense lit, the pianist playing and all his people comfortable, happy and safe until they stumble out into the dawn. But when the unscrupulous baron who owns the Fox moves to close it, David's world comes crashing down.
Noah's never feared a little high-stakes gambling, but as he risks his own career in hopes of helping David, he realizes two things:
One: David has not been honest about how he ended up at The Curious Fox in the first place.
Two: Noah's feelings for David have become far more than friendly.
What future lies beyond those first furtive kisses? Noah and David can hardly wait to find out...if they can untangle David from his web of deception without losing everything Noah has worked for.

Equally sweet and steamy, this will delight Everlee's fans while enticing many new ones." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Everlee's sophomore effort expands and improves on her debut, The Gentleman's Book of Vices, creating a sweet story with a sexy romance that deeply explores the queer friendship and love between Noah and David while maintaining a suspenseful atmosphere throughout." --Library Journal "[A] sweet and satisfying romance." --BookPage "After wowing readers with A Gentleman's Book of Vices (2022), the first in her Victorian-era Lucky Lovers of London series, Everlee returns with a stunningly romantic, superbly sensual friends-to-lovers story that brilliantly makes use of the book's thoughtfully rendered characters and their search for love and acceptance."--Booklist
