About this ebook

Joseph Slade Indian isn’t angry. He’s pissed. Pissed that the man who threw over his love for glory and money is back, and now leads their Ojibway community as the new chief. Holding the pain deep in his chest, Slade knows how he’ll celebrate the most miserable day of the year—opening a gift of recompense after being dumped by the one man he dared to love.

Gavin Pemmican is full of regret. He knows he made a big mistake leaving Slade for a materialistic dream of power and prestige. No longer the poor bullied misfit but an educated lawyer, he’s ready to put his skills to the biggest case of his life by brazenly challenging Slade in the kangaroo court of sexual torture he’s daring to stick Gavin in—and win back the only man he’s ever loved.

Ratings and reviews

This is a second chance M/M short story for Joseph Slade Indian and Gavin Pemmican when Gavin comes back to the tribe as the new chief. A story of drama, remorse, apologies,some intrigue, anger, light BDSM, and two men finding their way back to each other. I am glad their story had a happy ending. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed reading this entertaining second-chance MM romance. Although it is a quick read, the plot is well-written & interesting. The characters are quite well-developed & previously had a relationship that ended when one of them (Gavin) left to further his career leaving the other one (Joseph) behind now Gavin is back & expresses regrets for his actions but is determined to get his man. There is: drama, some intrigue, anger, vengeful feelings, devious plans, remorse, apologies, manipulations, light BDSM, discipline, spankings, steamy scenes, contentment & a satisfying conclusion.

Gavin left town to go to college and persue a career in law. He left Slade behind and broke his heart. Now Gavin is back and all he wants for Christmas is Slade. And if he has to let Slade dominate him and tie him in ribbons, then so be it. I really wanted a bit more complete HEA...a proposal, a commitment ceremony.
