Nicholas Beauregard has spent his life trying to prove that his game leg and short stature will never stand in his way. Even so, his determination has done nothing to satisfy his most secret desire. When chance sends him an invitation to the notorious Twelfth Night Revel thrown by Viscount Colvin, Nicholas accepts. Though he's never met the man, he's heard rumors of the viscount's debauched masquerades. Such a bawdy event should provide an eyeful of male anatomy to ogle, and perhaps, the right man. Someone with the power to accept his submission.
Viscount Sebastian Colvin is looking forward to this year's revel, which promises to be filled with good company, self-indulgent pleasure, and a diversion from his father's insistence that Sebastian marry. Scandalously clad as the god Apollo, Sebastian hopes this year's revel will also bring him someone worthy of his darkest longing. Someone who is strong enough to accept his control.
Two secrets. Two powerful desires. And one chance to form a match made by the gods.
