Trapped by the blizzard outside... HunterDane & Camden Snow contend with the storm raging inside. In the pre-dawn darkness, Hunt moaned and thrashed under the comforter. Finally, the nightmare receded. He settled, breathed deeply several times, and opened his eyes. "You okay?" Cam asked. “Sure," Hunter smiled, half-awake, not remembering. "I'm here with you. Safe inside the storm. Away from ... all the crap of the last few weeks... moreTrapped by the blizzard outside... HunterDane & Camden Snow contend with the storm raging inside. In the pre-dawn darkness, Hunt moaned and thrashed under the comforter. Finally, the nightmare receded. He settled, breathed deeply several times, and opened his eyes. "You okay?" Cam asked. “Sure," Hunter smiled, half-awake, not remembering. "I'm here with you. Safe inside the storm. Away from ... all the crap of the last few weeks.” Cam moved his hands over Hunt’s body, soothing and gentling. “Safe inside the storm.” Not safe from the storm, but safe inside of it. Isolated. Protected. Safe. But Cam knew Hunter wasn’t safe; his demons came with him: a dark and twisted possession by blood and cruelty and murder. Being snowed-in for days would allow the darkness to eat away at Hunt until his very skin would seem too small. He'd beg Cam for the flogger. And hate Cam for denying him. There was a solution, but the so-called "Full Metal Dom" was afraid. So very afraid the fragile bonds between them would not survive. To help Hunter, he had to do the one thing he swore he would never do. A 28k novella exploring the power of trust. Book 4 in the Hunt&Cam4Ever series. (mm, bdsm, adult - Not a stand-alone.) The first three: On His Knees, Matchstick Men and Dancing Men are available on Amazon. less

He shut the door before he kicked Hunt’s feet apart and moved in between his legs. Strong arms went around Hunt’s shoulders. “We're at work,” Hunter said, but he didn’t pull away. “ You’re at work. I’m visiting.” Cam rubbed his cheek against Hunter’s ear. Hunt’s arms went around Cam’s waist. “I’m still at work.” “You’re on a break.” Cam’s arms tightened and Hunter’s head dropped to his shoulder with a deep sigh. After a minute, Hunt stood, hugged Cam tightly and pushed him firmly away. “You suck at being a good influence.” Cam grinned. "You're welcome." The HUNT&CAM4EVER series follows Hunter Dane through his murder investigations and his continuing relationship with Camden Snow. A frank exploration of the D/s dynamic between two powerful men. Consensual. Adult. Intense. less

Or lightning strikes from the ice-blue eyes of a much-too-young-for-you man you pass in a doorway. One year to the day later, the young man was my husband.

A big slice of his grandmother Dee’s apple pie waited on a brick red ceramic dish... moreSometimes what you never thought would happen, does. All at once.

A 72k word novel, the seventh in the Hunt&Cam4Ever BDSM-MYSTERY series. This is the book the author calls "The hardest book I ever wrote."AN ASTONISHING TWIST IN THE EPIC LOVE STORY~ A HIGH SEAS DEATH ON A BILLIONAIRE'S YACHT"No matter how hard you fight the darknessevery light casts a shadow;The closer you get to the lightthe darker that shadow becomes."Plato

When you've go too far, there's no way back.“Hunter, when you were in a state of emergency—physically, emotionally, psychologically—a team went into action. What the lead psychiatrist did is a little like being medically stalked. I have extensive notes, recordings of interviews, files of background information about you.”I gestured at the black flash drive case, all twelve spaces occupied, lying open on my desk. It had been overnighted from the hospital in Cleveland... moreWhen you've go too far, there's no way back.“Hunter, when you were in a state of emergency—physically, emotionally, psychologically—a team went into action. What the lead psychiatrist did is a little like being medically stalked. I have extensive notes, recordings of interviews, files of background information about you.”I gestured at the black flash drive case, all twelve spaces occupied, lying open on my desk. It had been overnighted from the hospital in Cleveland.He didn’t look at me; he hadn’t made direct eye contact since he entered my office. Tall, a little gaunt, hard-edged, what would usually be called “laugh lines” deeply etched. Dark hair unkempt, unshaven. But a striking-looking man: stormy, grey-blue eyes thickly lashed, cleanly-drawn winged brows. Compelling, I was sure, when not in the throes of depression.He stared just over my shoulder, toward the window behind me. I caught the steady, slanting fall of heavy white flakes in my peripheral vision through the other window in my office. I was sure the man was hearing what I said, so I went on.“You were sedated at the time these decisions were made and permission for this type of intense biographical investigation was granted by your husband. How do you feel about that? About him deciding for you that every part of your private life could be delved into by strangers?”He shot me a filthy look, a split-second of intense hate. My heart pounded. Aware that he could be armed—that he’d killed—and knowing depression so often spilled over into rage, I considered ending the session.But this was a veteran homicide detective well known around the department for cool control in the most chaotic and dangerous situations. Friend of some very influential people. I pressed on.“Lieutenant, if I’m going to certify you to the medical unit for an extended period of time, I need information. If you won’t talk to me, I’ll have to go through these files. Your husband also gave permission for me to do that.”He was on his feet at my desk, leaning over the desktop, braced by two closed fists.“You don’t ever mention Camden Snow again. In your life.”He picked up the flash drive case and walked out the door. He didn’t rush. He was in no hurry, not concerned that I’d try to stop him and retrieve the files.He simply left.I took a breath. I’d need a minute for my hand to stop trembling before I picked up the phone.Hunter “The Great” Dane had just ended his career.Do not buy this book if you have not read the Hunt&Cam4Ever series. It begins with Matchstick Men,and is an epic M/M BDSM love story set in the world of a homicide detective. The sex is genuine, explicit and powerful.
