Hostage to Fortune

Sooner or later, something, or someone, has to break. Tyr Blackstone is a bodyguard for hire assigned to protect the nephew of a wealthy businessman. He's prepared to babysit a spoiled rich kid but instead finds himself guarding a young man held virtual prisoner. Milo Forbes wants nothing more than to escape his brutal uncle's clutches but is trapped. If he runs, his uncle will withdraw funding for his brother Matthew's care. On his twenty-third birthday, Milo will inherit a vast fortune, but his uncle has been plotting for years to prevent that happening. As the date approaches, his uncle sets in motion a set of plans designed to destroy Milo's mental stability. Tyr, tasked by his mysterious employer with keeping an eye on Milo's uncle as well as his charge, soon realises that Warren Forbes is evil, concealing his greed for wealth beneath a veneer of concern for Milo's wellbeing. Forced proximity with a fragile young man means Tyr's growing feelings for Milo are tempered by guilt. His need for control and Milo's willingness to submit are thrown into stark relief by their circumstances. Can Milo survive the trauma his uncle has subjected him to, accept his found family and find his happily ever after?
