Summary
Vienna, 1760s. Roderich von Edelstein, heir to an old house, has been given a Swiss Guard: Basch Zwingli, soldier, shadow, vow. Duty says they must stand apart. Desire makes the distance unbearable. What begins with buttoned collars and borrowed silence unravels into something neither of them should want—and both of them can’t let go of.

Under the shadow of duty, Austria—the person, not merely the polity—performs what may be his last act of volition. Before being offered up like a sacrificial lamb on the Habsburg marriage altar, he claims one thing for himself. Quietly. Without sanction. Without anthem.

Basch Zwingli’s life runs like clockwork—work at the bank, take care of his daughter. But when his past unexpectedly collides with his present, the arrival of an attractive Austrian throws everything into disarray. Maybe, just maybe, it just might offer him the chance to let go again.
