A collar and tie are more than just clothes. To Henry Blackwell, they represent freedom and choice. They don't mean as much to Martin, but he wears them to the Metropolitan Ball, an exhilarating rite of passage for masters and slaves alike. At the party, drunk on champagne, Henry convinces Martin to act against his better judgment with devastating results. Fearing Martin will be taken from him, Henry does what he believes necessary to keep Martin by his side, but Martin doesn't agree with his methods, and they're at odds when they most need to act in concert. Henry feels he's been wronged, but can he find it in his heart to forgive Martin? Perhaps more importantly, does he deserve forgiveness himself? This is the fourth and final installment in the Ganymede Quartet, continuing the story from A Willful Romantic (Ganymede Quartet Book 3).
