What the audience sees is only half the drama... A lost wager leads to a smoldering night of passion...but when the two men meet in the light of day and have to work together, disaster strikes. Florizel Holland was born and raised in the Theatre and has spent his entire life surrounded by "colorful" people. His devotion to those people shows not only in his position as stage manager for the Drury Lane Theater and his dedication to its current production, but in the way he gives everything he has to the home for retired actors he helped to establish. But endeavors such as the home need funding, and gambling for high stakes at a club called Perdition is how Flory intends to get them. But losing himself for the night to a mysterious newcomer to town changes everything... Librarian Oliver Penhurst has been on the back foot ever since inheriting the title Earl of Headington. His venture into London was supposed to be so that he could learn from his old university friends how to be a nobleman. Patronizing the Drury Lane Theater seemed like a good idea, but when Oliver comes face to face with the man he just spent a wicked night with, Oliver doesn't know whether to run and hide or to throw himself at the man. There is more to both Flory and Oliver than meets the eye, and as the two men work together for the good of the show-especially when everything seems to go wrong with the play at the very last minute-they discover that it is the unexpected blessings in life that make it so much fun. The Disaster of Drury Lane is an MM love story with very steamy bits that take place at The Perdition Club, and it involves masks and disguises, old actors who are young at heart, risks that are worth taking, bad eels, painting catastrophes, and fires both inside and outside.
