It’s 1904 and 'Meet me in St. Louis.' is the watchword of the day. William Deming is excited to be covering the event for his newspaper, the Utah Gazette. Arriving in St. Louis, he takes a room at a boarding house near to the big event. That's where he meets Misha Rumiantseva, the nephew of the owner. William finds himself instantly drawn to the beautiful and very pale young man, but he has to be cautious—gay men cannot be forward about their attractions, society is not quite so open-minded about such things. A spark has been struck between them which cannot be denied, and they meet in secret at the World's Fair, losing themselves among the many fairgoers. But William begins to learn that all is not as it appears to be with Misha. He cannot find him during the day, and he can't get answers from his aunt as to his whereabouts. William tries to control his jealousy when he learns that there have been others before him. But things get out of hand when one of Misha's former lovers is found dead at the World's Fair—and Misha is accused of his murder! Can William prove the innocence of his lover? Or will this be an affair which lasts only as long as the World's Fair itself? Is love strong enough to conquer prejudice and the jealousy of a lover spurned? Will William be sorry that he ever came to the World's Fair? CONTENT ADVISORY: This title includes scenes of rape/near rape.
Author
aka Stephanie L. Danielson. I've been an avid reader since a small child. My first loves were science fiction as well as general fiction books. Later, I began writing my own stories with a romantic flavor to them. With influences running the gamut from romance,sci-fi, and drama, my muse was found. In 2007 I was first published with Love Resurrected, and have since released over a dozen other books, mostly in the contemporary gay romance genre. I am particularly fond of young adult/college age boys to write about. When not working on a new book, I can be found shooting pool and darts, hanging out with my husband, parents, and cat, cycling, skating, or spending way too much time playing computer games.
