At thirty-three, after all I've lived through, I thought I knew myself through and through. And then I met Bear.
When Luukas Virta, a Finnish-American tattoo artist and a Dominant, gets a submissive out of a bad situation, he knows he's getting a temporary roommate.
What he doesn't know is that Bear Barlow is a service submissive who got tangled into a web of being too new to know better. Luukas's caretaker instincts flare up, and he realizes there's much more to Bear's kink identity and maybe even his own that he hadn't expected.
Things from Luukas's past make him doubt his feelings, and Bear isn't sure if he's genuinely interested in the gentle, gorgeous Dom, or if he's just grateful for having been saved.
I might be twenty-six and new to kink, but I know what I want-or so I thought.
Even more than that, both men are facing a shift in their identities. The more time they spend together, the more they realize that whether you've been practicing BDSM for more than a decade or less than a six months, you can still learn a lot about who you are. It doesn't mean it's easy to let go of who you thought you were or to make space for an additional part of your newly found identity.
Luukas and Bear get more and more wrapped around each other, but of course life is never quite that simple or easy. With their loving kink community supporting them, there's nothing they can't conquer together.
