Christmas is a time for goodwill to all, but Collars and Cuffs co-owner Thomas Williams receives an unexpected gift that chills him to the bone. A Dom from another Manchester club asks Thomas for his help rescuing an abused submissive, Peter Nicholson. Thomas takes in the young man as a favor to a friend, offering space and time to heal, but he makes it clear heтАЩs never had a sub and doesnтАЩt want one.
Peter finds ThomasтАЩs home calm and peaceful, but his past has left him unwilling to trust another Dom. When Thomas doesnтАЩt behave as Peter expects, PeterтАЩs nightmares begin to fade, and he decides heтАЩd like to learn more about D/s life. A well-known trainer of submissives, Thomas begins to teach Peter, but as the new submissive opens up to him, Thomas finds he cares more for Peter than he should. Just as he decides itтАЩs time to find a permanent Dom for Peter, they discover PeterтАЩs tormentor is still very much a threat. With their lives in danger, Thomas canтАЩt deny his feelings for Peter any longer. The question now becomes, can Peter make it out of the lionsтАЩ den alive, so that Thomas can tell his boy that he loves him?
