Remember Tristan from “Clancy’s Collar”? This book explains the heartbreaking reasons behind his unruly behavior and shifting emotions. We meet the sources of much of his pain and watch as he finds solace in the kind Master John Dunn, who becomes the most significant father figure in his life.

Tristan has issues because of his past, and he thinks and behaves younger than his actual age. All he has ever wanted since we met him is to find a loving Dom to collar him.

Gustavo fits that bill and there is an instant connection between them. Unlike every other man Tristan has been with, Gustavo is completely open and honest with him emotionally and physically, but not completely honest about his family and his reasons for being in Ireland. He understands Tristan and what he needs.

Gustavo escaped from his father’s shady business in Spain, causing a permanent rift between them. He settled in Galway, Ireland, where he found a new business rescuing horses. His sub chose not to join him, leaving him single and lonely. Seeking some BDSM play with a submissive, he visits the local club. Little did he know, he would find more than he bargained for.

Both Tristan and Gustavo have baggage: exes who refuse to fade away and family that they desperately want to escape.

When things get tough, Tristan’s emotional pendulum swings wildly, shifting from blaming and resenting Gustavo to blaming himself and believing he’s undeserving of love. HEA.

This book is not a standalone book.
