Taken by the Coffee Baron
His coffee was strong. The way he took me in silence was stronger.
Author: Evan Blackthorne
Gabriel Reed came to Ashcroft Hall for work.
He never expected to fall into the orbit of the most dangerous man in the Blue Mountains.
Jamaica, 1894.
High above the island, where coffee fortunes are built on land, silence, and power, Ashcroft Hall stands proud against the mountain mist. But beneath its elegant surface, the estate is rotting from within. The books do not balance. The debts do not make sense. And someone inside the house is quietly preparing its ruin.
Gabriel is hired to put the estate’s ledgers in order. Intelligent, proud, and far too perceptive for his own safety, he quickly becomes more than a clerk in the baron’s office. He becomes the one man willing to look Henry Ashcroft in the eye.
Widowed, feared, and impossible to read, Henry Ashcroft is a man shaped by duty, wealth, and restraint. He is used to obedience. Used to silence. Used to burying desire before it can become dangerous.
Then Gabriel arrives.
What begins in candlelit offices and whispered conversations over account books soon turns into something far more forbidden. A storm-trapped night. One room at an inn. One bed. One mistake neither man can forget.
But desire is not the only danger at Ashcroft Hall.
As hidden letters, false accounts, and betrayal inside the estate begin to surface, Gabriel and Henry find themselves caught between scandal and survival. Because once their affair becomes vulnerable to blackmail, the question is no longer only who wants them exposed.
It becomes whether Henry will protect his name…
or the man who has become impossible to lose.
