Publisher Description
Winning his heart is easy. Earning his trust is hard. Easing his fear...is nearly impossible.
Joey Harkin keeps a low profile. He goes to work each day, keeps to himself and makes sure nobody notices him. It's the only way he can be sure the man who has tortured him for eight years won't find him. The only way he can be sure he'll be safe. Everything is calm in Joey's life, until he's summoned to the Managing Director's office.
Rick Southwell is a successful man. Smart, attractive, wealthy. He has a close circle of friends and when he needs something more ... stimulating... there's always The Club. There is no shortage of men there willing to act out whatever scene Daddy Rick asks for. He has no interest in anything deep or permanent. Until the night he has to rescue Joey Harkin - the man he has just promoted - from being beaten up.
Bit by bit, Rick learns Joey's story. Day by day his desire to protect and care for Joey grows stronger. Little by little, he falls in love.
Getting Joey to trust him turns out to be the easy part. Getting Joey to let go of his fear and embrace his new life is much more challenging.
Joey: The Complete Unabridged Story is a stand-alone novel of more than 100,000 words.
TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains reference to domestic abuse, both physical and mental.
Customer Reviews
A hard story to read, yet an important read…
“Joey” is a difficult story to read without empathy that forced me to take this in small bits… a chapter a day, most times. The story is well written, and I worried about Joey every day with each chapter/section. Rick was a true hero. The dom/sub lifestyle has surprised me as I learn more each time a book includes it. The psychopath who tortured Joey is too often thought to be the common dom in a relationship. Rick and his fellow doms depicted in this book gave me a new view, and I think a more realistic view of this lifestyle. I think the reader will love Joey, and by extension, Rick and most of the other characters portrayed in this book. I had to read this over time, but the experience will help me be a better, more accepting person. Well done.
