The Endersley Papers — S.A. Meade

Joshua thought he'd left his past behind, but there's something in the darkness at Endersley. Joshua Endersley is glad to leave a broken engagement and his sordid desires behind in London and claim his inheritance on the rolling downs of Wiltshire. What he doesn't need is temptation in the form of artist, Daniel Wyndham, to remind him of all he wanted to forget. Joshua finds Daniel impossible to resist and the two men embark on a passionate affair that draws them ever closer. Joshua believes that he can find happiness and live his life the way he wants to in the peace and seclusion of Endersley. But nothing good can last forever. The very remoteness and solitude that Joshua loves about Endersley turns against him -- the darkness at Endersley is deeper and more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.
