It's 19th century America. Society is crumbling against the pressures of a civil war, and is about to break in two. Austin Lassiter, a promising young man with prestige and money, is nothing but loyal to his family and everything it stands for. Beautiful women from wealthy families line up to marry him, but for reasons he can't explain, he feels nothing for them.
With the increasing pressures to inherit his father's law firm and find a suitable wife, Austin starts to wonder if any aspect of his life holds meaning. Or if it's all soirées, stature, and formalities.
Far from his New England home, at the boarder of Mexico, another war rages on. A war filled with greed and the loss of innocent lives.
Rafael Reyes, an equally important young man and a representative from Mexico, arrives in New England with his father to help stop the fighting and allow peace to resume between countries.
Thus bringing Austin's meager existence to a screeching halt as the handsome war abolitionist comes into view.

Carnations in the Alley | manxman | (Historical Romance)
| ManxMan | - Historical Fiction - Strong SEXUAL Content | Tossed aside for his sexual preferences, a young lord is abandoned by his family. But, he isn't alone for long as a towering, rather intimidating and...handsome man happens upon him at the lowest point in his life. However, this man doesn't look upon him with judgment in his eyes. There is a sort of unspoken sympathy, and it shows itself well enough when he is swept off his feet and taken to the man's home. Untouched, unjudged and given a place to stay, this young lord will come to find he's been given a second chance. But he's afraid. Of what? (This story is based on a character introduced in 'The Beauty of Coincidence'. You don't need to read that one, but a piece of useful information would be that Edgar works for someone named Norman Ramsey, a man who has accepted that his own son is gay (he is not homophobic even though it's the 1820s, and Edgar is extremely loyal to the name of Ramsey). Enjoy!)Complete
