Leashing His Heart series
Dark, toxic M/M romance
Traumatized Johan doesn’t want a bondservant, and Emil doesn’t want a master. Forced into this relationship, they test each other’s boundaries and hurt each other in turn until they manage to find each other’s hearts. This spin-off to Under His Heel is lighter than the original series, but still features dark content and unhealthy bdsm practices.
This duology features unhealthy dynamics. Please read at your own discretion.

Broken, haunted Johan doesn’t want a bondservant. He certainly doesn’t want a bondservant like Emil, who is mouthy and disobedient and completely disrespectful. But if Johan can overcome his own nature and subjugate Emil, maybe he can finally win the respect of his family—and escape the painful shadows of his past.
Emil never expected to get caught for his crimes, and he didn’t expect to end up as a bondservant to one of the richest families on Cadmus Station. He’s willing to play nice, but he refuses to be submissive—there’s nothing submissive about him.
His new master is cruel, but he’s inept and inexperienced. Emil can see all the cracks in Johan, and he’s going to take every advantage he can get to gain the upper hand.

Emil and Johan have settled into a routine. Johan’s doing better, Emil thinks he’s got everything figured out…
Until his ex shows up. Until Johan’s mother starts making demands. Until all his lies catch up to him. Everything is falling apart around him, and if he doesn’t figure things out fast, he’s going to be torn away from Johan for good.
