Blurb:

Grey

After living 28 years in the UK in exile from my homophobic grandparents, I’m at a loose end when my long-term sub and partner caves in to family pressure and marries for convenience.

My grandparents just passed and my twin brother asks me to come back home to Sydney, Australia, so he can visit a potential sub in the US, while I take care of the house, the cat, and his business.

As a Dom, without a sub and wanting a boyfriend as well, (yes, I’m verse and want the best of both worlds) I find myself working a coffee van outside an LGBTQ+ friendly motorbike workshop and find the owner is an un-owned sub. How lucky am I?

But when I find my new sub + boyfriend is keeping secrets, should I take advantage of the contract we have that allows me, as his Dom, to interfere in his business – or will it backfire?

When my brother tricks me into signing a stack of papers so I can represent his business at a franchisee meeting, I am also forced to confront my own demons over my grandparents’ disownment of me so long ago.

Oliver

After months of blue balls, – yes, as a sub I need permission, and I don’t have a Dom – I find the hot guy setting up a barista van outside my mechanics business might be the answer to my desperate prayers. But with my business on the brink of being controlled by others, my fears get the better of me and I can’t be honest with my new combination Dom/boyfriend even though our contract demands it.

When a business deadline looms, and I see him leaving a pub with another man and he doesn’t go home that night it throws me into a tailspin of panic and depression.

Have I trusted the wrong man?
