There were too many options, but my brain finally settled on their past.

I just wasn’t sure what I wanted to write…their pasts…stories about what they’ve seen in the club…what they’re doing now.

Last fall, I was talking with a friend about what I wanted to write this year, and I kept coming back to Ben and Conner. As the owners of the club, they’ve shown up in a variety of books, but they didn’t talk much about themselves. Since they first popped up in the Bound & Controlled series, I’ve been asked about Ben and Conner.

Well, discovering how Ben caught his attention has been fun, and I can’t wait to show you how it all started with them. If you’ve read some of the books they’ve shown up in as side characters, you’ll remember that the only thing we really knew about the start of their relationship was that Conner used to work his stress out as a cage dancer in a gay bar. The answer is with lots of passion, snark, and ridiculousness. It wasn’t until Conner became friends with Finley ( Beautiful Shame: Finely & Jared), that he opened up about how his relationship with Ben started. However, they’ve always been quiet about their relationship and had a tendency to flirt and change the subject whenever I poked at them. Ben and Conner…they popped up fully formed and passionate about one another in the first Bound & Controlled book.
