Ellis Parker is a lucky man: he escaped his persecuting family, survived his tour of duty, and met Maxwell Clark in the city of New Amsterdam. Clark showed Ellis more than the ropes: Clark helped Ellis figure out who he is -- a gay submissive with a massive fixation on a beautiful, mysterious ballet dancer named Bryn Rothe. Ellis knows a Good Man when he sees one, and he wants nothing more than to score a first date with Bryn.<br><br>Little does Ellis know that Bryn has a violent past that is crawling out of shallow graves to haunt him. Even his hectic schedule and beloved stage aren’t enough to distract him. It’s impossible for Bryn to figure out how he feels about Ellis with his demons between them, but when Ellis saves Bryn not once but twice, Bryn is forced to admit that there’s something about Ellis that Bryn might not merely want but need.<br><br>Together, they journey to the scene of Bryn’s original crime -- Charles Towne, South Carolina. There they will dig up secrets that might explain Bryn’s tortured life but might also be his -- and Ellis’s -- undoing.

After Ellis had shoved clothing out of the way, he took all of Bryn into his mouth. Ellis moaned and rolled supple flesh around his tongue. Hair tickled his nose and cheeks, and Bryn grabbed Ellis’s head and shoulder. Bryn rolled his hips and shoved at Ellis, who lost balance and went sprawling. Ellis scrambled into a sitting position. His back hit the bed frame and mattress, and Bryn bunched Ellis’s curls in one fist. Bryn spread his legs, forced Ellis’s head backward and chin up, and pushed his awakening cock past Ellis’s lips. Ellis went lax, letting Bryn pin him. Bryn didn’t rock or slide. He held himself still inside Ellis’s mouth instead.
