Synopsis

In Ouida's novel 'The Massarenes,' readers are swept into the extravagant world of the British aristocracy as they navigate love, ambition, and societal expectations. Written in a lush and vivid style, the book captures the opulence and excess of the Victorian era, while also delving into the personal struggles and desires of its characters. Ouida's keen eye for detail and sharp wit provide a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The Massarenes is a prime example of romantic literature that encapsulates the tensions between tradition and modernity in 19th-century Britain. Through a mix of decadent settings and complex characters, the novel offers a rich tapestry of human emotions and relationships that still resonate with readers today.

    Pint-sized Seattle middle-school teacher and gay dating blogger Hayden McCall and his best friend Hollister are invited to a fundraiser for Bakers Without Borders. The celebrity performer, Kennedy Osaka, is the artistic director of Mysterium, an upscale circus arts show combining magic, acrobatics, and a Michelin-star dinner. But Kennedy is a no-show—until she’s found dead in her hotel suite. When frenemy Sarah Lee is discovered in the room with the body, Hayden and Hollister are on the case to find the real culprit before Sarah Lee is charged with the crime. The suspects for the murder are as unique as Mysterium itself: a Russian trapeze artist, a cowgirl comedian sharp-shooter, an over-cologned operations director, a feisty green-haired costume manager, and Adrenalin!, a sexy troop of Romanian male acrobats... If Hayden and Hollister are to clear Sarah Lee of suspicion, they’ll have to outsmart a killer for whom trickery is art. With quirky LGBTQ+ amateur sleuths, Cirque du Slay will delight listeners looking for a madcap mystery with high-flying excitement!

    A product of his past, Black spends half his time saving lives and the other half taking them. Every day, a hard choice must be made and he's the man to make it. Long ago, he vowed to never love again; one-night stands with a willing body was all he ever needed. But along came Quill, and Black's life is irrevocably changed. He never expects something as simple as Quill's persistence to alter the way he not only sees the world, but how he lives it. 
    Quill has bad taste in men and equally horrible luck. Growing up wasn't easy, surviving is even harder. When his past and present collide, he's convinced he'll finally witness his own destruction. But when an unlikely antihero steps in to protect him, his life is turned on its head. He's spent months flirting with the man of his dreams and hoping he'd take notice. But it turns out, being on Black's radar isn't all it's cracked up to be, and his idea of protection varies greatly from Quill's. 
    Unknowingly sharing the same goal—burying their own pasts deeper than the fires of hell can reach—they're both unaware that jumping into that fire will do more than ignite their feelings, it could lead to their own demise. 
    Contains mature themes.
