This is my latest book published on 15 November 2008.
In February of 1814, Gideon Frost is a proud man barely clinging to respectability. Unable to make enough as a printer to earn money for food or heat, and hopelessly in love with Joshua Redfern, who all-too-infrequently purchases his engravings, Gideon sometimes resorts to a spot of prostitution to pay the bills. When the Thames freezes over and London holds what will be its last frost fair on the ice, Gideon, like countless tradesmen, takes the opportunity to move his shop onto the frozen river, hoping that the fair will earn him enough to save him from looming bankruptcy--not realizing that malicious, acquisitive eyes are watching
When disaster strikes, Redfern offers him a position within his household. But when Gideon leaves his life of hardship behind him, he discovers that desire and delight can co-exist with the most terrible doubt...and that some prices are perhaps too high to pay.
Very catchy and absolutely gorgeous!! Those eyes are so intense and haunting.
