“He was breaking me, even if it was slower than when I’d been his pup. Even if I’d started to like it sometimes… Or maybe it was because I’d started to like it.”

Kidnapped by a formerly popular musician, Ryder slowly loses himself in the trap Griffin has set for him. Stripped of his life, his dignity, and even his name, he fights to cling to what little he can of what he was. But as Griffin starts to soften toward “Toby,” Ryder finds himself wondering if being with the man is really so bad…

“I wanted him to submit, not out of fear, but out of desire. But if desire wasn’t possible, I would settle for what I could get.”

Desperate for a companion who could look past his scars, Griffin arranged for the kidnapping of a college student: “Toby.” As Toby resists becoming his pup and starts to become his kitten instead, Griffin must evaluate his choices and decide whether he’s willing to compromise with his captive for the chance at something more. If he can get Toby to bend instead of break, he can have everything he wanted. But how far can he push before it’s too far…
