Mindscan

2005

When Union Captain Reeve rescues renegade Protectorate scientist Marc Frampton, it's his job to convince Frampton to give his loyalty to the Union. Reeve doesn't mind the assignment. He admires Frampton's courage in resisting interrogation under torture and his obvious intelligence. And he has the patience to wait 'til Frampton is ready to give up his knowledge.and his body. Frampton doesn't do loyalty. Little wonder, after all he's been through. He does, however, recognize a debt to the Union, and finds them a hell of a lot more congenial than his last employers—the ones who arranged his tour of hell. He also likes Reeve. A lot more than he's prepared to admit, because the secrets he's keeping aren't just scientific. Reeve stumbles on Frampton's kink quite by accident. The scientist's D/s bent, and his need for multiple partners, doesn't bother Reeve, but convincing Frampton may be the hardest mission Reeve's ever undertaken. How far are you willing to go to satisfy your lover?

Ally Blue penned her first tale at age eight, relating the breathless terror of her little sister’s not-quite-fatal encounter with a bee in the backyard. That was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with storytelling. She now writes gay romance of all flavors, and has recently branched into writing her first love: horror. She continues her neverending quest to scare herself. She is not a hippie or a brain surgeon, no matter what her kids’ friends say.

Jules Jones is a British author of science fiction and erotic romance, mostly with m/m themes. Much of her work is cross-genre, being science fiction or fantasy with a strong romance element. Her day job is materials science, and it tends to show—many of her characters are scientists, engineers, and sundry other geeks. *** I write science fiction, fantasy and romance. I read *lots* of things. My main library catalogue is over on LibraryThing, because I'm the sort of anal-retentive bibliophile who wants to record the exact print run and page count of my individual copy of a book. This account's always going to be a somewhat out of date and partial mirror. But it lets me put my book reading log up on GoodReads to share with my friends over here. :-)
