Building Bonds (Kiss of Leather 1)

Vanilla Kyle builds dungeon furniture yet has no interest in BDSM. Will it take a hunky Dom to show him what delights he’s been missing?



After Kyle’s partner of five years leaves him for another man on the night of their housewarming party, the shy carpenter needs to do a serious reassessment of his life. With no one else to help him pay the lease on his Los Angeles condo, he wonders how he’ll survive. Luckily, his best friend sets up a meeting with a Dom from Kiss of Leather, a gay BDSM Club being built as a premiere destination for those who want the best of the best.

Master Gavin not only wants the best – he demands it. When he meets Kyle, he’s instantly smitten but also assumes his skittish behavior means he’s been abused by a former Master. But Gavin is determined to break through the walls surrounding the beautiful man he can’t get out of his mind.

Misunderstandings and accusations almost destroy everything between them before it has a chance to begin. However, the true obstacle becomes not only whether Kyle will embrace the BDSM lifestyle, but whether he can handle a D/s relationship with a big, bad, scary Dom who’s as sexy as hell.
