A Contract of Games (The Seat of Gately, Story #10) Michael R E Adams

Dymion Gately stands at a crossroads between love and ambition. He has to choose between a noble suitor and his ascension in society. All comes to a head at a picnic. Dymion proposes a game, and when all is done, revelations will finally resolve an important chapter in Dymion's life. Will he become a righteous hero fighting for honor or a greedy schemer manipulating for power? The Seat of Gately employs Victorian flare to create an alternate supernatural world where etiquette rules society and scandals can destroy fortunes. Illicit desires overcome a complex cast of characters with profoundly comedic and tragic consequences. These literary fantasy stories explore issues such as gender, class, and sexuality in revelations of wit and naughtiness.
