Seduced — T.A. Chase

Clive Fishburne, the youngest son of the Earl of Wiltseshire, is on his Grand Tour. As a sickly child, he dreamed of visiting Venice and makes sure its the last stop before he is to return to England. With his best friend, Viscount Freemont, he arrives in Venice to enjoy Carnival, the week before Lent starts. At a ball, hes seduced by a masked stranger, and Clive gives into the pleasures about which he has always wondered. Damiano takes Clive to heights hes never experienced, and in the process, Clive falls in love with the mysterious Italian. Then one night, Damiano fails to appear at a planned rendezvous, and Clive wonders if the man is done playing with him. Heartbroken and sick, Clive returns to England, wondering if Damianos confession of love is real or simply the magic of Carnival where all things are hidden behind masks.
