By Any Means

By: E. M. Caro New York City, 1905. Investigative journalist (and fierce anti-capitalist) Laurie Tulley is no stranger to the sins rich men commit in the name of profit. He's made a front-page career out of unearthing the injustices of industry. But when his editor turns his sights onto wealthy glass industrialist Charles "Chary" Wright, Laurie sees neither injustice nor sensationalism. All the openly queer and once-disowned Fifth Avenue businessman seems to have is a dead brother, a bizarre inheritance of a blueberry farm, and a lotta trauma. Chary has his secrets, however: the big, life-ending kind. When Laurie comes snooping, he's determined the reporter won't find them out, no matter how handsome he is. Then a worker from the glass factory is murdered. Chary himself is brutally attacked. When Laurie uncovers murder after past murder, he realizes there's a story to be written after all... so long as he can keep a professional distance. And as Chary finds himself in the arms of the very man meant to be his ruin, he must confront exactly how far he'll go for love-and just which ghosts he's willing to bring forth from the past.
