Creel has Eliot's sealed file. Eliot has three years of parole. One of them is about to kneel.
"Thirty days is up, Tanner. Come inside."
Newly paroled Tanner Whitlock thought he could clock quiet hours at the Hollister brothers' shop on Route 23, make his three years, and never let another man back inside his skin. He was wrong. Wade Hollister, the shop's older owner, clocked his trained posture the first day he put him under a Peterbilt—the way he went still when a voice went low, the way his hands found the right place without thinking.
Thirty days later Wade offers him the conversation. The hard word is the name of a town. The soft word is the name of the man who owned him at seventeen. The belt lands on the backs of his thighs, never higher, never on his face. Tanner takes twenty-four hours to decide. The next night he shows up at Wade's door and steps back from the threshold.
Parole Terms is an MM dark blue-collar romance featuring Tanner's slow, deliberate unraveling at the hands of a quiet, steady mechanic who knew what he was the minute he walked in. It's character driven, pitch black, featuring economic coercion, second-chance obedience, small-town menace, and a dangerous man who decides a parolee is worth taking home. Book Five in the Heel series.
Genre: Gay Romance
