The Catch Trap: A Gay Historical Romance

By Marion Zimmer Bradley

It's the 1940s and 50s - in the world of the circus.

Mario Santelli, of the famous flying Santelli family, is a great trapeze artist. Tommy Zane is his protege.

"As naturally and gracefully as they soar through the air, the two flyers find themselves falling in love. Mario and Tommy share sweet stolen moments of passion, but the real intensity of their relationship comes from their total devotion to one another and to their art. As public figures in a conservative era, they cannot reveal their love. But they will never renounce it."

My thanks to the blog reader who wrote to tell me about this book, saying "I don't know if it will help but it helped me."
