Summary
Mycroft Holmes carries the weight of the British Government and his brother’s welfare on his shoulders. That's what he does. It's who he is.
Then Sherlock relapses, a buried diplomatic scandal resurfaces, and Detective Inspector Gregory Lestrade is drawn further into Mycroft’s orbit than either of them expected.
As the case grows more dangerous, long acquaintance gives way to friendship, jealousy and a mutual attraction neither man believes the other could return. Mycroft is determined to keep Greg out of harm’s way. Greg is equally determined to stop Mycroft treating his own life as expendable.
