Blurb:
The men from Kiss of Leather gather
together to rescue a terrified young sub. But it’s Master Derek who wants to
keep him for good.
Master Gavin and his boy, Kyle are
celebrating their newly established bond when Master Josh calls requesting
their help. Josh’s sub, David, needs the men to help his best friend from
childhood while they’re away at a BDSM convention in San Francisco.
Corey ran away from his Master after a
horrible scene, but he blames himself for everything that happened. No Master
would ever want him if they were to find out what he did. Corey’s not sure if
he’ll ever feel safe enough to give himself to a Master again anyway, even if
all he’s ever wanted was to belong to somebody.
Master Derek agrees to watch over Corey
until Josh and David return from the convention. All he needs is another
pretty twink messing with his head and his heart, so the older, growly bear of
a man determines to keep his distance. But when Corey wakes up screaming after
a devastating nightmare, Derek is more drawn than ever to the young sub - the
need to keep Corey safe from whatever or whoever has hurt him becoming his
main priority.
Kyle and Corey develop a friendship when
Corey assists Kyle in the dungeon furniture workshop. Kyle has his own fears –
the ones that make him feel he’s broken because of the things he desires to do
with Gavin. Through helping Kyle, and receiving his own help through Derek,
Corey decides he’s ready to let go of the demons from his past and move
forward into a new life.
Now if Corey can only get Derek to
believe that he’s ready – and to finally do something about it.

Excerpt:
Derek was not one to live with mystery -
especially with someone under his roof. He respected Corey’s boundaries and
his need to keep certain things to himself, but he didn’t think it was
completely unreasonable to at least attempt to be friendly with each other.
Corey finally answered him.
“I’m usually up pretty early. I can’t
sleep much past seven, even when I was going to school and it was the
weekend.” Corey’s eyes tracked everything in the kitchen that wasn’t anywhere
near Derek. “Plus, I get really tired at night. I used to be the one who fell
asleep on New Year’s Eve.”
“Used to be?”
Corey finally looked in his direction.
“Tony was more of a night owl. He insisted I stay awake the last few New
Year’s.”
“Tony your Dom?”
Corey actually appeared to shrink into
himself even more. “Ex-Dom.”
“Hmm.” Derek shut off the burners then
pressed the lever down on the toaster. “Hungry?”
“Yeah.” Corey nodded with an enthusiasm
that made Derek wonder about the kid’s recent circumstances and whether he’d
had enough to eat. He finally lifted his gaze to Derek. “Can I set the table
for you? Or…something?”
“I’m not that formal here. You can grab
the orange juice and butter from the fridge though. I already have plates and
glasses.” Derek wondered if he could draw Corey out of himself a bit more.
Mundane topics seemed to be relatively safe. The mention of the Dom had caused
him to shut down instantly. “Hope you like chorizo and eggs.”
Corey brought over the items Derek had
requested. He set them down then moved quickly away.
“Anything you have is great. I meant…”
Corey swallowed, his expression pained. “I meant to say thank you to you last
night. I should’ve said it to Gavin…” Corey’s eyes flashed up at him with
panic. “Um, Master Gavin and Kyle, but they left before I could tell them.
This is really cool of you to do. So, thank you.”
Derek offered him a smile. It wasn’t an
expression he employed often, but he sensed that Corey needed some reassuring.
“Sure. You’re welcome.” He finished pouring the juice then handed the tumblers
back to Corey. “Here you go. Have a seat and I’ll get the rest.”
Corey nodded and did what he was told.
Derek found himself intrigued by the young man. It was the absolute last damn
thing he needed at the moment, but he couldn’t help it. Corey was too young,
too pretty - but he didn’t seem to be too spoiled. Derek ached to know more.
All he had to do was figure out how to approach Corey without scaring the shit
out of him.
