The Reunion

At last, the slaves of the Marketplace come together.

In Laura Antoniou’s The Reunion, a grand castle-turned-luxury resort in Ireland—Kaleigh Castle—hosts an extraordinary gathering: a retreat designed by the Marketplace to give deserving slaves a rare vacation. Some are under contract and on leave, some are retired and savoring a low-cost luxury escape, and a few have even brought their families. The cast spans young newcomers to elegant butlers out of an Edwardian daydream; every corridor and salon of Kaleigh teems with history, secrets, and lives built on service.

For Robin, newly freed from her last contract and uncertain of her future, the Reunion is a chance to take stock. For Chris Parker—happily living as the property of Japanese Master Trainer Tetsuo Sakai—it’s a celebration. Their paths cross again in a setting where long-suppressed tensions and desires can no longer be ignored. Adding to the mix are Kaleigh’s knowing staff and a nosy reporter who can’t resist the story of a lifetime.
