Braeden Byrne is starting his career as a third-generation art detective. The owner of Briarvale Estate in Surrey, England hires him to search for her great-granduncle's missing poetry. Cyrus Pemberton, following in the footsteps of Oscar Wilde, dared to write of his love for another man. Imprisoned in the house by his brother in 1905, the question remains: was his missing poetry hidden or destroyed?
Dr. Anton Smythe, noted Cambridge literary scholar, is also keen to track down the lost work, but not keen to work with this young American upstart. He fights to resist his attraction to Braeden, only to discover that the attraction is mutual. Though they strive to remain professional, nights alone in the decrepit manor house ignite passions the two men cannot ignore. Will they discover lasting love alongside the missing verses of the Ode to Love?
