Blurb:

A Sequel to Forged in Trust
Bay Area Professionals

A promising encounter takes a dark turn.

Captain Sami Soros and Father Jay Blackstone cross paths at a major European hub. When systems shut down due to a cyber-attack, flights are delayed and the resulting chaos is unprecedented.

After having served three tours in Afghanistan, recently discharged Sami struggles with his new civilian status. Emotionally depleted, and dangerously edgy, he views most of his fellowmen with utter contempt.

Jay is returning to his parish in San Francisco after a month-long retreat meant to shore up a crumbling vocation. All vestiges of spirituality melt away when he sets eyes on Sami.

They begin a clandestine affair fueled by a shared addiction to extreme forms of BDSM. Their relationship goes off the rails, and Jay reaches out to Rino Duran, a former seminarian. With the help of Dr. Ethan Marshall, Rino’s full-time Dom, the established couple attempt to separate truth from lies to give Jay and Sami a shot at happiness.

Here's a snippet: 

When Sami opened the front door and made eye contact with Jay, he felt dizzy with excitement, the need to touch so powerful he had to step back and take a deep breath. The mental images of Jay he’d carried around for weeks were colorless, faded versions of the striking man standing in front of him wearing a blue sweater that accented his eyes. While he’d intended to play his usual detached self, Sami couldn’t stop the enthusiastic greeting.
“You look great!”
Jay beamed. “Thank you.”
“Come in,” Sami said, pulling Jay by the arm. He shut and locked the door and turned to find Jay studying him intently. “What’s so interesting?”
“You’re growing out your hair.”
Sami smirked and ran his fingers through the choppy locks. “It was time to ditch GI Joe, but it looks like shit at the moment. Growing out a buzz is a process.”
Jay continued to examine him. “I like it.”
“It’s just hair, Jay.”
“You’re more approachable.” Jay took a few steps closer. “May I touch?”
“Sure.”
“Feels nice,” Jay remarked, fingering the soft curls. “I had a duckling when I was little who sort of felt like this.”
“For fuck’s sake,” Sami snarled.
Jay looked bemused. “I bet you’ll turn into a gorgeous black swan once it grows out.”
Sami growled and yanked him closer. “You can’t sweet-talk me without suffering the consequences.”
“I hope not,” Jay challenged. “A stylish haircut better not mean a personality change.”
Sami gripped Jay’s face and squeezed until the kissable lips parted and he possessed him hungrily. Jay moaned and returned the kiss with equal fervor, his soft tongue questing. They inhaled each other’s breath, and Sami lost himself in the familiar taste, all the while grinding madly against the hard body pressing into him.
As their stiffening cocks collided, Sami’s resolve to maintain control over this reunion was shattered. He wanted to ease back into a relationship, one with a better understanding of their mutual needs, but Jay’s singular ability to turn Sami’s brain to mush was messing with his plans. Peter’s advice was abandoned in light of his ravenous desire to reclaim what had been his.
Still and all, Sami made one last attempt to get things back on track. “Do you want to discuss our next move before we lose our shit?”
Jay’s eyes were bright with anticipation. “We have the weekend to talk. Take me upstairs or fuck me right here—I’ve waited long enough.”
“Ditch the clothes.”
