Blue Steel Chain

What would you accept for love?

At sixteen, Aidan was swept off his feet by a rich older man. But eight years later, his sugar daddy has turned from a prince into a beast. Trapped and terrified, Aidan snatches an hour’s respite at the Trowchester Museum.

Forgetful archaeologist, James is a gentle soul and Aidan brings out all his white knight tendencies. When everything falls apart for Aidan, James saves him from certain death, and discovers a skeleton of another boy who wasn’t so lucky.

As Aidan recovers, James falls desperately in love. But there is an angry ex coming after them with a butcher’s knife, and Aidan has another secret that he fears may be even worse…
