Synopsis

In 1814, the River Thames froze solid in one of the coldest winters on record; tradesmen and society all flocked to the Frost Fair – the last ever to be held on the ice. Against this chilly backdrop, the printer, engraver and fiercely independent Gideon Frost struggles; not only to keep his business afloat, selling his body to men when he must, but also to hide his growing attraction to a wealthy customer: the gentleman Joshua Redfern. Redfern is a man out of Gideon's class and very much out of his reach.

When disaster strikes, Gideon is forced to make a decision which will affect his future: will he choose love, or independence? Frost Fair evokes a bitterly cold London winter as Gideon tries to find the heat of love in his heart and his life.

Written by Erastes, author of the widely acclaimed Standish and Trangressions, the latter the first in a new line of m/m historical romances published by Running Press.


Reviews

"The research behind Frost Fair is impressive indeed ... and the depiction of the winter carnival taking place on the frozen Thames is a delight."


“...The nature of the characters and times is set in every nuance, every line, and in the very lush setting of the story itself. It imbeds itself deep until you can actually visualize in your mind the time and place, and the people (s)he immortalizes...”


“...This story has exciting intrigue, suspenseful plot twists, and layers of character revelation and evolution that will keep any reader riveted. Set against a richly detailed and finely researched historical backdrop, the trials and travails of Gideon, Joshua, and Gideon's young employee, street urchin Mordecai, will thrill and entrance readers.”
