A Most Personal Property (Ganymede Quartet Book 1)
Darrah Glass
- In
- the
- heat
- of
- August
- 1900,
- Henry
- Blackwell—rich,
- handsome,
- and
- painfully
- shy—anticipates
- the
- purchase
- of
- his
- companion
- slave,
- that
- most
- personal
- of
- properties,
- with
- equal
- parts
- excitement
- and
- dread.
- There
- are
- limits
- to
- what
- a
- gentleman
- might
- do
- with
- his
- slave
- and
- still
- remain
- a
- gentleman,
- and
- what
- Henry
- craves
- goes
- far
- beyond
- what’s
- allowed.Martin,
- a
- slave
- from
- House
- Ganymede,
- is
- the
- most
- beautiful
- young
- man
- Henry’s
- ever
- seen,
- and
- he’s
- ready
- and
- willing
- to
- do
- as
- Henry
- commands,
- but
- Henry’s
- afraid
- to
- ask
- him
- for
- what
- he
- really
- needs.
- A
- master
- needn’t
- care
- what
- a
- slave
- thinks
- or
- how
- he
- feels,
- but
- Henry
- can’t
- help
- wanting
- Martin
- to
- like
- him
- anyway.
- If
- Henry
- could
- be
- certain
- Martin
- wanted
- the
- same
- things
- he
- does,
- he
- might
- be
- bold
- enough
- to
- reveal
- his
- secrets.Unfolding
- against
- a
- backdrop
- of
- progress,
- privilege
- and
- turn-of-the-century
- amusements,
- the
- four
- installments
- of
- the
- Ganymede
- Quartet
- present
- an
- erotic
- coming-of-age
- fantasy
- of
- Gilded
- Age
- New
- York
- in
- which
- young
- men
- from
- the
- richest
- families
- form
- intense
- bonds
- with
- the
- slaves
- who
- serve them.
