Despite his long-standing friendship with Charles Ashford, the younger brother of the current Lord Ashford, the peerage continues to snub him. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArthur Ashford comes across as cold and arrogant as he is wealthy and handsome. In truth, he wears that mask to protect his lonely heart from those who see only his title, not the man he truly is. After Thomas is invited by Charles to the prestigious Ashford Hall for the summer, a spark between Thomas and Arthur flashes into a fire, which neither man can ignore and will leave them changed forever. However, any happily-ever-after they might find will be hard won as they navigate class differences, the attitudes of the early Victorian era, the machinations of the gentry, and a shadowy plot against Ashford Hall itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSet in the 1850s in the idyllic English countryside, \u003ci\u003eAshford Hall\u003c\/i\u003e is written as a pastiche of 1800s romance novels with a queer twist.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLee Ohlson's earliest literary memory is laying on her back in her bedroom listening to \u003ci\u003eThe Hobbit \u003c\/i\u003eon audiotape while reading along in a mass market paperback to make sure she didn't miss a word. Early forays into fanfiction - self-inserts into \u003ci\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, of course - and an ongoing collaboration with a middle school friend introduced her to writing for fun. After twenty-five years of ups and downs, including an entire 300-page manuscript lost to flooding during Hurricane Ike, she has finally reached a point where she can start working on publishing romance novels for a wider audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Lee Ohlson grew up in Houston, Texas, before returning to her home country of Canada in her early twenties.
