Gay romantic fiction from Tim Bairstow:

Dispatched to a monastery in the North of England to prepare for priesthood, the handsome young Felix finds more than he bargained for when he meets the devastatingly attractive, and dangerous, Jonas.

As he opens himself up to the possibility of love in his life and embarks upon an affair with Jonas Felix’s mentor, Jack, an older priest in the community, succumbs to his own obsessive love for Felix with devastating consequences.

"There are some heart-wrenchingly moving scenes in this book, along with real humour. There are also plenty of really well-written sex scenes, a beautifully unfolding love story and a cast of brilliantly realised minor characters, ranging from the monks to the motley and fascinating clientele of the local gay sauna. What more can I say? This book has everything I look for in a novel!"

Tim Bairstow's stunning debut novel is sure to become a notable addition to gay romantic fiction.
