The Collateral - Part 9: Exit Strategy

My owners think that they’ve taken everything away from me. My freedom, my dreams, even my self-respect.



But there was one thing that they missed: my determination.



They tried to brainwash me, to mold me into a docile piece of livestock that they can rent for a profit. An expensive blond plaything for bored housewives and rich men with depraved fantasies. Some of the clients treat me like a skittish animal, to be punished until I do what they want. Some treat me like a pet, praising me when I please them. Some of them even think that they love me.



None of them know what I’m planning. But to escape, I’m going to need help.



So who am I going to trust?



And who am I going to use?



The Collateral is a dystopian series about a young man being pushed to his limits. It contains intense dark themes, bisexual awakening, and morally grey decisions. It's not a conventional romance, and readers expecting an easy HEA will be disappointed.
