Tom, museum curator and expert in Renaissance jewelry, doesn't think his boyfriend Peter is "e;The One."e; Peter is perfectly happy with Tom, but Tom is obsessed with the artist Benedetto Emilio Nesci-exciting, passionate, extraordinarily talented... and dead for over 400 years.Tasked with researching a bejeweled codpiece, Tom abandons his professional ethics-and his sanity-to try on the codpiece and is transported halfway around the world and back in time, right into Florence, Italy and Nesci's workroom.After his initial panic subsides, Tom seizes the opportunity to allow Nesci to seduce him, but Tom discovers not everything about the sixteenth century is as romantic as he'd imagined. Getting back to the modern world and Peter becomes Tom's only wish, but desire and reality are two completely different things, and Tom might not get what he wants this time around.
