He’d never had another man belong to him, not like this, where the ties between them were a leash and an iron collar. When Anton goes to market to buy an ox, he comes home with a slave—rebellious, resentful Petre, who has nothing to say to a free man. To survive on Anton’s remote farm, they have to work together. But trust doesn’t come easily when you’re a slave, and neither does forging a connection across the divide of an iron collar and the ghosts of the past.

I write and read original m/m romance, after several years of writing fanfiction. In a former life I studied and taught western religious history and culture, but for now my focus has been on writing and working as a freelance writer in Baltimore. I like power dynamics, historical settings, and nuanced characters and plots. I published my first novel, In Allegiance, as an online serial; it's now available in a significantly revised version. I have more novels and stories in the works, which I'll post about here.
