He is not at all prepared for the old man’s his exceedingly attractive and painfully tempting nephew. Unbeknownst to Alexos, his old butler chose Henry Sutton hoping the two of them might marry their interests together, and the gentleman is as suspicious as he is entranced when the new butler comes to him with talks of a secret marriage between them.

The representation of disability, the impact on a person's social life, mood, and relationships was believable. While there was no real plot, per se, the story initially seemed to be about Alexos's emergence as he found love and began to express his repressed sexual identity.
