Band Sinister Page 25
After witnessing firsthand the horrors of Waterloo, Julius Norreys sought refuge behind the luxurious facade of the upper crust. Now he concerns himself exclusively with the cut of his coat and the quality of his boots. And yet his protégé is so unblemished by cynicism that he inspires the first flare of genuine desire Julius has felt in years. He cannot protect Harry from the worst excesses of society. But together they can withstand the high price of passion.
Praise for the Society of Gentlemen
“KJ Charles writes some of the most inventive historical romances around, and A Seditious Affair is one of my favorites. ... The stakes are high and deeply felt, and once you start, there’s no way to stop reading this one.” Courtney Milan
“Many congratulations to KJ Charles proving that it can be done. Romance can incorporate meaty socio-economic and political context into the story-telling. And the resulting tale can be riveting and most definitely hot.” Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
“The realities of class, societal mores and politics heighten the tension in this emotional, deeply romantic look at the remarkable lengths we will go for love.” Washington Post
“Everything I enjoy in a historical romance can be found in A Gentleman’s Position. Accurate, confident and luscious, the writing brings Lord Richard Vane and his ‘fox’, David Cyprian, to glorious life.” All About Romance
The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh (#0.5)
A Fashionable Indulgence (#1)

When she and her swain make a dash for Gretna Green, Martin drags Theo on a breakneck chase up the country to catch the runaway lovers before it’s too late.
Theo guards his secrets. Martin guards his heart. But as the two of them are thrown irresistibly together, entanglements, deceptions, and revelations come thick and fast...
