When the mistress walks out, Tam dares to hope his love will be enough. Then he’s ordered to purchase another slave. He wants to hate Kai for being unruly and ungrateful. For being of the same race as the men who murdered his family. For being his eventual replacement in their master’s bed. But it’s hard to hate a man who cries himself to sleep, flinches at the slightest touch, and blushes beautifully when he’s kissed. 64,000 words. THE FREE MEN SERIES: THE SLAVE THE SOLDIER THE MASTER

Distrustful and disgusted by his relationship with not one man but two, they make it abundantly clear Kai no longer fits in. Beaten, starved, and tortured, when the chance comes to escape, Kai is barely strong enough to make the journey. Even if he succeeds, how could anybody ever love the thing he’s become in order to survive? CONTENT WARNING: This book contains scenes of graphic violence. Reader discretion advised. 62,000 words.
