The queer son of a Dutch count exiled into the ostensibly strict hands of his English relatives, Nik is a natural romantic attempting to wrest himself back from the control of addiction. He longs for connection and creativity, but fears this bleak country may provide very little of either.
Augustus Kinkade
The Premier Viscount of England and known rake, Gust Kinkade is a man of contradictions. He is conscientious about his finances and role in Parliament, and kind to his tenants. He also tumbles through beds with aplomb, and has a reputation for carousing. Loyal to a fault, and shy of commitment. A bright and charming light with a dark and troubled history.
Arthur Beckwith
The valet to the Duke of Somerset, as matchless in his dedication to his work as he’s been in the quantity of his sexual exploits. From uncertain parentage he’s risen to nearly the highest realm of service, careful to keep his professional and private lives separate.
