Following the untimely death of his father, Henry Beckwith unwittingly inherits the family business at his mother’s behest. Forced to serve and mingle with the London elite, Henry enters a cold and loveless marriage of convenience in order to uphold the Beckwith family’s newfound societal status. One day he receives an invitation. Sir Thomas Hadleigh, a young and mysterious baronet whose reputation for the dark and the unusual precedes him, requests Henry’s services for an upcoming party. Curious and desperate for time away from the office, Henry accepts the offer. What unravels within the accursed walls of Bewcastle Hall is a courtship fueled by forbidden desires, unholy rituals held by a secret society for the queer and the outcasts, and the promise that pleasure and self-fulfillment need not only be found in darkness. PROFANE SACRAMENT is a 22,000 word gay Gothic horror erotica set in an alternate Victorian England.
