A little 'sequel' to 'Lord of Endersley'. Jacob Endersley is a happy man. After the trials of the Sepoy Mutiny and a long separation from his lover, Marcus Billington, he is looking forward to their first Christmas together at Endersley House. Nothing would please him more than being snowed in and shut away from the world outside. What he doesn’t know is that Marcus has other ideas. There isn’t anything Marcus wouldn’t do for Jacob, even if it means putting his pride at stake to get want he wants for the man he loves. Will his gift arrive and, when it does, will Jacob appreciate it?

Joshua thought he’d left his past behind, but there’s something in the darkness at Endersley. Joshua Endersley is glad to leave a broken engagement and his sordid desires behind in London and claim his inheritance on the rolling downs of Wiltshire.

Joshua finds Daniel impossible to resist and the two men embark on a passionate affair that draws them ever closer. Joshua believes that he can find happiness and live his life the way he wants to in the peace and seclusion of Endersley. But nothing good can last forever. The very remoteness and solitude that Joshua loves about Endersley turns against him—the darkness at Endersley is deeper and more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.
