An Attempt at Cruelty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781978189409)

A 62,000-word, full-length M/M bondage and discipline novel that will leave you breathless with the punishments and restraints.

Alex is a 28-year-old guard at a dungeon run by the Lord of the Realm. His reputation for cruelty precedes him, and he is always looking for ways to punish the prisoners at this awful and terrifying place. When Cody, a new prisoner, enters the dungeon for his sentence after a conviction of theft, Alex is instantly drawn to the 23-year-old man. This attraction not only comes from the new prisoner's boyish good looks but also from what Alex perceives is his keen understanding of the world and a sense of maturity and wisdom that goes well beyond his years.

Alex starts by treating Cody with the same cruelty that he does the other prisoners, subjecting him to the occasional beating and other punishments to keep the young man in line. But when Cody makes the ultimate declaration to Alex-that the guard is not really a sadist-Alex begins to undergo an identity crisis from which he feels he might never recover.

But Cody has many secrets he doesn't dare tell anyone, not the least of which is a special relationship with yet another prisoner-a relationship Alex fights to understand. When Alex's jealousy of Justin-the other prisoner with whom Cody has seemed to form a special bond-collides with Cody's quest to uncover the cruelty at the dungeon, everything starts to shift and Alex feels he might lose his mind.

Will Alex and Cody form a hot and satisfying relationship despite Alex's insecurities? Is Cody really involved with another man, or are Cody and Justin just friends? Will Cody gather the information he needs for his clandestine endeavors, whatever they might be? Find out in An Attempt at Cruelty.
