London, 1873. The Adventurers' Society will fund Captain Kit Ravensworth's expedition to the sand-buried ruins beyond Khotan on one condition: a physician goes with him, and the physician's word on his health is final.
Dr Alec Fenwick has eleven pounds to his name, fifteen years of other men's emergencies behind him, and no prospect of a practice of his own. Two hundred pounds is two hundred pounds. He takes the appointment. He does not expect to like the man.
Kit Ravensworth is famous, funded entirely by public subscription, and violently opposed to being kept alive on anybody else's terms - least of all the terms of a sharp, quiet Edinburgh physician who watches him the way other men watch a falling barometer.
Then comes the road. Six months of it. The Karakoram, the desert, six thousand miles from anyone who knows either of their names, and one tent between them.
Fenwick can end the expedition. Kit can end Fenwick's career with a single line in print. Neither of them can leave. And the further they go, the harder it becomes to remember that what is happening between them carries penal servitude for life at home - and that they both have to go home.
ABSOLUTELY NOT is a witty, steamy Victorian m/m historical romance with forced proximity, hurt/comfort, only one tent, and a hero who falls first and falls hard. Open-door heat, a guaranteed happy ending, and no cliffhanger.
Book one of The Adventurers' Society. Each book in the series is a complete standalone romance.
