Suspense
Here are the suspense books. These books feature queer protagonists and a range of representation. There are a lot of types of books in the suspense category, and you'll find the Healing Bonds universe here. These books can feel a bit like Thrillers in some cases, but the main focus is suspense. Crime features a lot in these, with crime syndicates, mob bosses, and serial killers. Enjoy your foray into this world.
The Universe, titled Healing Bonds, consists of three book series. These series, Chains of Fate, Joe Town Bound, and Silken Bonds, all take place in different locations. Chains of Fate is located in St. Louis, Missouri; Joe Town Bound is in St. Joseph, Missouri; and Silken Bonds is in Santa Cruz, California.
The uniting factor of all these different books is that they all focus on healing through bondage. Each book centers on a character placed in extraordinary circumstances, and their partner or partners help them through it. Using the tools that bondage and submission have to offer, these people find their way through their trauma to healing.
There are no magic cures in this universe, as it is grounded in reality. There is no cure-all, and bondage and love do not make the bad times go away. These characters have to learn to live again when the world seems at its grayest. The bonds they form with others, both romantic and platonic, are at the center of everything that happens in these books.
Coming out was tough. The thing that was even tougher, though, for Kerry was dealing with the fact that he had serial killers targeting him. Along with being stalked and having his belongings messed with daily, he has to deal with the bounty hunter after the serial killers and the FBI agent who shows up on their trail. Of course, what he doesn't expect is to be incredibly attracted to both of them, as different as they are.
Rather than give in to the people after him, Kerry chooses to live his life, that of a drag queen and burlesque dancer at The Red Cabaret and Lounge. With the bounty hunter Martin watching his every move, and the constant shameless flirting from the FBI agent Zak, Kerry has his hands full.
Even with everything going on, he can almost live a normal life. He dates some people from the cabaret and just doesn't seem to find what he's looking for in them. All the while, Martin and Zak keep a close eye on him. Perhaps, closer than he'd like sometimes.
When things blossom, though, and life takes an incredible twist, Kerry's world will never be the same.
