Attorney Musician Roland Colton Releases Historical Romance, Forever Gentleman

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. - July 11, 2016 - PRLog -- Attorney and pianist Roland Colton announces the release of his debut historical romance novel, Forever Gentleman (ISBN 978-1681142296), which is published by Anaphora Literary Press. Told in a style reminiscent of nineteenth-century authors, Forever Gentleman is a sweeping saga of suspense, romance, mystery, and music.

In Forever Gentleman, readers travel back in time to experience Victorian London at its best and worst-a city of beauty and brilliance, yet steeped in filth and despair. Nathan Sinclair, a struggling young architect and gifted pianist, lives in the two vastly different worlds, mingling in high society while dwelling in suffocating debt and poverty. While performing at a gathering of London's elite, Nathan meets Jocelyn Charlesworth, a breathtakingly beautiful but temperamental celebrity heiress. He is smitten, though she publicly humiliates him; their paths intersect again later, and they form a tentative friendship centered on their mutual love of music. Meanwhile, Nathan makes the acquaintance of Regina Lancaster, a woman of remarkable inner beauty, despite her pedestrian appearance. He must decide whether to follow his heart and pursue Regina, or flee England altogether to avoid imprisonment from a miserly creditor.

In his darkest hour, Nathan is offered a tantalizing proposition that might change everything, but that comes at considerable risk. Nathan must play his role perfectly, or he may lose his reputation, livelihood, and very life to the powerful echelons of Victorian society. Full of unexpected twists and turns, Forever Gentleman races towards a thrilling climax that will determine Nathan's ultimate destiny.

"I've always been fascinated with Victorian-era London," said Colton. "Since I'm a musician and live part-time in Europe, I decided to merge my interest in music and European history and created Nathan's to illustrate the cultural forces at work when England was deeply divided by poverty and wealth. Nathan's love of music and his struggle to find love and a place in society mirror the social issues many young people face today; I'm hoping readers will find his story as fascinating to read as it was to write."
