Aidan feels like waking up, at last, after a life conforming to others' expectations, and they begin to explore what they have. After a bumpy start, when they split for a couple of months after A does something quite stupid, they settle in a fledging, budding relationship. Aidan is the lead singer of one of these bands but at the same time holds a regular corporate job. It starts easily enough with a little tryst between a straight man, Aidan and Dario, a gay writer and the owner of a commune art space when people gather during the weekends to showcase their art and listen to underground bands. Xavier may even hold the key to overcoming the painful past that has kept Carson prisoner for almost two decades.This is one astounding romance, full of eroticism, deep and many times dark emotions, where the feelings are depicted in achingly and excruciatingly heartfelt detail. And he has no idea he's not the predator, but the prey, until it's too late.Īnd you can't beg for mercy when there's a gag in your mouth.īut when Carson escapes from Xavier's trap, he's forced to accept that Xavier is far from his most dangerous enemy. He never guessed how big and dark the secret hidden under all the lies and money could be. But the lies are convincing, especially when they're slipped to him among hundred dollar bills. The problem with vigilante justice, though, is sometimes the man in your trap is innocent.Ĭarson suspects he's playing a risky game with dangerous men. For his lovers, it's Xavier's ravenous appetite for all things carnal-for the taste of flesh under his tongue and the feel of a trembling body under his control, for whispered pleas and muffled cries-that makes him dangerous.īut recently, driven by a festering rage against the men who attacked his sister a decade ago, Xavier has developed a taste for a different kind of hunt and conquest: stalking men who do truly bad things and punishing the predators he sniffs out.

More than his hulking, tattooed body, it's his predator's gaze that makes people feel vulnerable, as if he had the power to read their thoughts and see their soul.
