Linley is a gay wolf-shifter. In order to
appease the Alpha within, he has taken up the BDSM lifestyle and become very
experienced. This placates his wolf to a certain extent, but his dearest
wish is to find a mate—male, of course. Except, the question is, how to
find one in a city surrounded by humans where other wolf-shifters are rare.
Then,
one night, he enters Balls &
Chains, a BDSM club he frequents, and immediately senses another of his
kind. And not only that, it is the scent of a potential mate, Jared
Gray. There is only one problem—Jared is collared by another
Master.
Jared’s
relationship shows all the signs of an abusive relationship. Can Cole get him
away from the other Dom and show Jared the delights of BDSM when done properly
and what it means to be a beta wolf to Cole’s Alpha?
Reader Advisory: The
submissive in this Gay Paranormal Romance doesn’t realize he is in an abusive relationship until he meets his true
Master.
What’s hot?: Making love in the forest
as wolves, then in the bed as humans.

Excerpt:
Moving on, Cole was drawn
into a room which had a cross in each corner of the room with plenty of space
to wield the equipment. The walls were covered with floggers of varying types,
although nothing stopped a Dominant using an implement from another section.
Cole halted. He’s here.
The scent was at its
strongest, practically dragging him toward a slender man in his late twenties,
with brown hair the color of hazelnuts. The sub was in the process of being
tied face up against a cross on the far side. His chest was bare and sleek, and
he wore skin-tight jeans.
The Dom wanted to rip the
man’s clothes off and devour him on the spot. So intent was he on reaching his
prey, he nearly missed the Master who had finished tying the submissive and
came around to inspect the restraints, standing directly between Cole and the
object of his hunt.
Stopping in his tracks,
Cole’s hackles began to rise. A possessive instinct rose in him to fight off
his rival. Except there were rules in BDSM and it didn’t include tearing out
the throat of another Master.
Andy caught up with him and
saw him staring. “Who have you found? Oh, this is Master Dirk. Jared is the sub
he is playing with.”
Cole took a moment to calm
his inner wolf, unclenching his fists before he triggered his claws. His voice
was raspy as he asked, “Are they new? I don’t recall seeing either of them here
before.” Actually, he couldn’t care less about this new Master. He only had
eyes for Jared.
He didn’t hear Andy’s
answer, because, at that moment, he caught the gaze of the bound man. Tangible
electricity crossed the room and hit Cole like a silver bullet, slamming into
his heart, nearly causing him to change into his wolf in front of everyone. It
took everything he knew about Dominance to keep hold of his human side and push
down his animal half.
Meanwhile, the submissive’s
eyes opened wide in shock, and he bit his lip. Cole’s keen wolf eyesight could
detect Jared’s fierce trembling, as he tightly gripped the ropes that held him.
Cole willed him to hold on and not transform in front of everyone as the two
shared a look of instant attraction, desperate need, and the desire to have
sex.
And yet it was more than
that. So much more—an inner knowledge, assurance one has finally found one’s
other half, and didn’t even know one was looking.
Taking a deep breath, Cole
narrowed his eyes as he gazed on Jared, drinking in the beautiful sight before
him.
He gave a slight smile of
acknowledgment.
Oh yes, this is my mate.
And woe betide anyone who comes between us.
