What to read after Neat Trick?

Being 100 percent sure you know what you want is a sure-fire way to get exactly what you need. You just might not recognize it when you do.

Jacob has rebuilt his life inside Rainbow Alley after a vicious beating sent him to the hospital when he was a teenager. He's strong again, and he knows what he wants from life. He just has to accept that he isn't going to get it from Cliff Thatcher.

Aaron has discovered that life never offers handouts. He's spent years paying other people's debts and now he is indentured to Douglas, a man who won't hesitate to use every ugly trick in the book to retain control over Aaron, his skateboard and his life.

When Jacob and Aaron meet, there is not an ounce of doubt in Jacob that he's found what he wants. The young man might be a little rough around the edges, but he's a safe bet, and Jacob knows he can control the thrust of their relationship. That is, until Aaron proves he can handle Jacob's submissive side and pushes to take the dynamic out of the bed and into the rest of their lives.

Jacob's hard limit, though, is the bedroom door. Only when Douglas makes it clear he isn't letting Aaron go without a fight, or a pay-off that he seems intent on taking in the form of Jacob himself, does Jacob begin to understand just how shaky his world really is.

If Jacob doesn't believe Aaron can protect him, he'll lose everything. Including what might just be his only chance at true freedom from his fear.
