Serie Guards of Folsom, Libro 1

Micah Slayde, il cucciolo, vuole Tackett Austin dal primo istante in cui posa gli occhi su di lui al Guards of Folsom. Vuole trovare uno scopo, qualcuno che si prenda cura di lui, e vuole dedicarsi al suo Dom: fidarsi completamente di lui, vivere per lui, appartenergli, diventare tutto per lui. Micah è certo che Tackett è l’uomo giusto. Il problema è che, per essere un sub perfetto, ha bisogno di rimanere concentrato, e questo non gli è facile, perché è afflitto da quella che lui definisce ‘una mente difettosa’. La concentrazione e la sindrome da deficit di attenzione e iperattività raramente vanno a braccetto.

Da quando ha assistito alla cerimonia di collarizzazione di Ty Callahan e Blake Henderson, Tackett ha pensato parecchio alla sua solitudine. Anche se Ty lo sprona a dare una possibilità a Micah, lui non è il tipo da farsi convincere facilmente: ha passato la vita a costruire una carriera di successo e i sub che domina non ricevono quasi mai il secondo bacio della sua frusta. Di vent’anni più grande di Micah, Tackett non ha nessun interesse a prendere con sé e addomesticare un sub così giovane e disubbidiente, ma è difficile resistere a un cucciolo tanto adorabile che lo implora.

Guards of Folsom: Book Four

Life has been known by a series of constants. Violence, anger, drugs, sex, death, heartbreak, pain, fear and the most common, hunger. Always hunger. Not the kind that can be satisfied with food, but the kind born of circumstance. The kind that not only claws within a gut, but settles into a heart, consumes a mind. Deeper. Encircles, penetrates the soul. Hunger for something more, something better, safer. Always just out of grasp.

Craving. Starved.

It’s part of me.

Who I am.

Born of blood and violence, hunger is my fate.

Yet, the slightest things can change the directions of a life. An unplanned circumstance, random act—a connection—a chance event, like a lightning strike, fate trumped.

Jamie is my lightning strike.
                                                      Tek Cain

Tek Cain was cultivated from birth to lead the motorcycle gang, Crimson Eight. Jamie Ryan, his best friend, is destined to be his second. But forbidden desires have them questioning everything they know, and an undeniable bond makes them want more than their supposed brotherhood can provide. Their love could get them killed, but they are bound to each other—from the cradle to the grave.

Il a passé toute sa vie à poursuivre une carrière aujourd’hui réussie, et les soumis qu’il domine n’apprécient presque jamais deux fois le baiser de son fouet. Ayant vingt ans de plus que Micah, Tackett n’éprouve aucun intérêt à prendre et à apprivoiser un si jeune soumis arrogant… Mais il est difficile de résister à un chiot aussi adorable lorsqu’il supplie.

Battle Buddy 

At nineteen, Shane Tucker joins the army. Tucker is gay but not ready to be open about it, and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell seems like a convenient way to avoid dealing with his sexuality.

The army suits Tucker; he does well from the beginning. Then, during boot camp, he’s assigned a “battle buddy,” Owen Bradford. Owen is a walking, talking wet dream with no concept of personal space. Tucker only survives the constant temptation by venting to his diary.

Two years later, Tucker—now in the Army Ranger program—is paired up with Owen once again. Getting through training while ignoring the sexual tension between him and his battle buddy might be the biggest test of Tucker’s military career.

Tuck & Cover

You may have read Tuck’s diary entries, but they don’t tell the whole story. Tuck will argue the point, but he definitely got a few details wrong—not that I blame him. He was, if you remember, a little sexually frustrated at the time. He probably wasn’t thinking straight. I’ll never get tired of teasing him about that. Anyway, here’s what really happened.

Rangers lead the way! – Owen

Guards of Folsom: Book One

Micah “Pup” Slayde knows he wants Tackett Austin the moment he lays eyes on him in the Guards of Folsom. Micah wants to have purpose, to be taken care of, and to take care of his Dom—wants to trust him completely, live for him, belong to him. To become his everything. Micah is sure Tackett is the one. The problem is, in order to be the perfect sub, he needs to stay focused, and that’s not easy for Micah, who suffers from what he refers to as a “broken brain.” Focus and adult attention deficit disorder rarely coexist.

Ever since Ty Callahan and Blake Henderson’s collaring ceremony, Tackett’s been thinking too much about his own loneliness. Even though Ty introduces Micah and urges Tackett to give him a try, Tackett isn’t so easily convinced. He’s spent his life pursuing a successful business career, and the subs he dominates almost never enjoy the kiss of his leather twice. Twenty years Micah’s senior, Tackett has no interest in taking on and taming such a young and naughty sub—but it’s difficult to resist such an adorable pup when he begs.
