{"product_id":"book-hx5y","title":"Silent Sin","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Silent Sin delivers in spades with romance, drama, rich infusions of historical details, and a happy ever after worthy of the movies.\" --Joyfully Jay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen tailor Marvin Gottschalk abandoned New York City for the brash boomtown of silent-film-era Hollywood, he never imagined he'd end up on screen as Martin Brentwood, one of the fledgling film industry's most popular actors. Five years later a cynical Martin despairs of finding anything genuine in a town where truth is defined by studio politics and publicity. Then he meets Robbie Goodman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobbie fled Idaho after a run-in with the law. A chance encounter leads him to the film studio where he lands a job as a chauffeur. But one look at Martin and he's convinced he's likely to run afoul of those same laws—laws that brand his desires indecent, deviant... sinful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin and Robbie embark on a cautious relationship, cocooned in Hollywood's clandestine gay fraternity, careful to hide from the studio boss, a rival actor, and reporters on the lookout for a juicy story. But when tragedy and scandal rock the town, igniting a morality-based witch hunt fueled by a remorseless press, the studio brass will sacrifice even the greatest careers to defend their endangered empire. Robbie and Martin stand no chance against the firestorm—unless they stand together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I love historical romance, especially when it's done well, and this is one of the best and most unique stories I've read in a long time! The world building and attention to detail had me immersed in the silent film era from the very beginning, and I fell hard and fast for Robbie and Martin, who are navigating their way through love and Hollywood in a way that feels incredibly relevant and timely, even a hundred years later!\" ~May Archer, author of the bestselling Love in O'Leary series\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49418836181296,"sku":"BDhx5y","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/448527-hx5y-Square.jpg?v=1736117655","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hx5y","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
