The Viscount's Muse

Viscount Dominic Talbot prides himself on his self-control, but it turns out that all it takes is one beautiful male model to unravel him completely.

Javier Porter has built his life on being seen and never truly known. As an artist's model, his beauty is his currency, his charm his armor, and his expectations carefully kept in check. When a letter of introduction lands him in the Mayfair studio of Viscount Dominic Talbot, he expects a commission, a bed, and an exit. He does not expect a man who looks at him like he's worth painting.

Dominic Talbot has spent years behind his own masks: the decorated soldier, the dutiful viscount, the artist who pours everything he cannot say into charcoal and paint. His world is order, discipline, and the careful management of desire. Javier Porter destroys all three within a fortnight.

What follows is neither simple nor sensible — but for two men who have spent their lives performing for the world, the truth of what they find together might be the most radical thing either of them has ever done.

Behind the Mask is a spicy MM historical romance novella set in Georgian London, featuring a found family of men navigating love on their own terms and plenty of steamy encounters.
