David Davenport is, by most standards, a very successful man. He has money, influence, and the Manse, his private gay club. Still, that's not enough to make him happy. Despite all his privilege, David is a lonely man. While at lunch with an old friend, David finds himself enchanted by the charming young waiter, Shea Whittier. Unlike David, Shea does not have wealth or influence. He does have problems, though, and David is more than willing to help. As the men grow closer, Shea's submissive nature responds to David's dominance, bringing a powerful intensity to their relationship, and leaving them vulnerable to an unexpected danger. (M/M)
