Blurb:
In all his relationships, Darren Fielding never found the level of intimacy he witnessed between Thomas Williams and his sub, Peter, the day of Peterās ārebirth.ā Not only that, he never realized such intimacy was possible. For two years, Thomasās business card has been burning a hole in his wallet. When Darrenās lover moves on, maybe itās finally time to see where that card takes him.
Collars & Cuffsās new barman, JJ Taylor, is really conflicted right now. He went to the club with a very specific purpose, already convinced of what heād find there. Except itās not what he expected at all. He certainly didnāt anticipate finding himself drawn to the new wannabe Dom. Nor could he have guessed the direction that attraction would lead him.
Old love, new love, vows, pain, rage, moving in, moving onā¦. The members of Collars & Cuffs face an event that touches some of them deeply, but it will only reinforce what they already know: together they are stronger, and some bonds cannot be broken.

Excerpt:
āHoney, Iām home.ā
Alex laughed and came out of the kitchen to greet his husband. āWeāve talked about this, right? You do not walk into this apartment and talk to me like Iām the little wife.ā
Leo kissed him soundly on the cheek. āAw, but youād look great in an apron, holding a glass of beer out for your weary, hard-working hubby.ā He smirked. āAnd besides, no one in their right mind would call you little.ā
Alex quirked his eyebrows. āOne, you donāt drink beer, which is why thereās a glass of chilled chardonnay on the living room table, waiting for you. Two, excuse meāweary? Hard-working? Youāve been standing around in leather chaps and a harness, watching while guys do all manner of things to each other, which probably included a lot of fucking, because, hey, itās Saturday night, right?ā
Leo sighed happily. āWhat can I say? I love my job.ā

When I worked for the haulage company, I was always up before five. Iād work my day, then go home. I might go out a few times a week to meet my mates at the pub, or maybe to Spitfireāthough I really hated the placeābut after meeting Jarod, my whole perception of the world changed.
Iāll be the first to admit, when I met him at the club, I was an absolute bastard. I took him home with me, even though I knew nothing about him, and treated him pretty shoddily. Ben, my best friend, should have smacked me in the head for the way I acted, but he didnāt. Instead he reminded me about how he nearly lost Scott, his own submissive. I thought Iād mended my ways, but the night Jarod and I went to the club so I could show him off, showed me I didnāt deserve him. Not in the least. We went because I wanted to. I didnāt take into consideration how Jarod would feel in the place where heād been belittled by pretty much everyone. What happened after that opened my eyes, and made me realize that Jarod had given me the most precious gift Iād ever get – himself. I vowed that day to change my ways, and take care of him the way he deserved.
I canāt tell you when I fell in love with him. It wasnāt one of those moments that they write sonnets about. We just grew closer, and before I realized it, he had my heart.
Then came that phone call. That fucking bloody phone call, where I felt so damned helpless to protect him. Every moment of that day is etched into my mind. From his call begging for help, to seeing him lying in the hospital bed, pale and weak. Iām not a religious man, but I begged God to give him back to me. I professed my love, the words I hadnāt yet spoken to Jarod, because they needed to be said, so they could be real.
When the doctor told me he would be okay, Iām not ashamed to say I wept. Everything I had thought was important in my life suddenly became less so. My only thought was Jarod would live, and I would spend the rest of our lives making sure he knew how much I cherished him.
So, imagine my surprise when he told me what he wanted us to do. I had been ready to say no, because I refused to leave his side ever again. But then he spoke the magic words. He wanted us to do this together, to build a life, to make our mark on the world. He opened himself up to me and gave me everything on a silver platter.
What kind of fool would I be to say no to that kind of love?
Meet K.C. Wells:
Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a mĆ©nage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wingsāwriting about men in love was even hotterā¦.
K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it⦠it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.
And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer⦠and longerā¦.

Meet Parker Williams (or at least his voices):
Good day! We are the voices that live inside Willās head. The ones who whisper to him constantly, beckoning him to speak of our adventures, to tell of our love, and perhaps, if weāre in a mood, kill a person or two.
We guide his hand as he tells our tales where love is the most powerful force, but must be worked for, molded, and finally, embraced. There can be no shortcuts or substitutions on the path to a happily ever after.
We hope you will join with us as Will fulfills his obligation to ensure our stories are told and, we hope, enjoyed.
