Sometimes it’s the cop who needs to hit the floor.

SEX, GAMES & MURDER ~ Want to play?
It was munch night at the most elite underground BDSM club in the Rockies. Relaxed and informal, highlighted by the weekly Matchstick Challenge game.

Detective Sergeant Hunter Dane, reigning champion, looked forward to a relaxing evening to start his 3 days off. A few beers on the deck. An interlude with a sweet sub. Stumping a challenger with a new puzzle. Home early for a decent night’s sleep.

Some people are SO deadly serious about their games.
Now Hunt has a fresh body and a new puzzle to solve in twenty-four hours if he wants to find a killer.

A police procedural with a liberal dose of M/M hotness. Which means our fave full-metal Dom shows up to collect on Hunter’s offer of his … coffer. So to speak. There are puzzles for the reader and mysteries to be solved. Based on characters introduced in the short story On His Knees. For adults.

An epic love story. A murder came a few days later sparking an unlikely romance and investigative partnership. The Hunt&Cam4Ever series now spans 7 books and counting.

Excerpt

Hunter Dane went to his knees for me. Camden Snow stopped breathing for a moment. Everything else receded: the club, the music, the people. Only Hunter remained, bright in a nimbus of light, a single player on the stage of the world, waiting for his cue.

The sight of him, straight and tall even with his head bowed, made Cam so hard so fast he thought his cockhead would breach his zipper. Hunter was the one he watched for. Dark. Damaged. Sculpted. Haunting and haunted. He moved with the confident grace of a man not just fit, but field-tested.

Cam longed to shatter him, so all his fiery molten interior exploded outward. He’d wanted it from his first sight Hunter Dane, stunned by the depth of the dark man’s raw need for his own obliteration. Cam knew instinctively how to get him there.

Now, Hunter Dane waited on his knees and it was up to Cam to break him. At twenty-one, Cam had known how. But two intervening years honing his skill and confirming his instincts on the cries and bodies of other men, gave him the experience to break the powerful Dane without crushing him.

Hunter Dane was a control freak among subs; his limits exact and inviolable. His obedience calculated to the millimeter. Hunter hid himself inside himself and used a Dom far more thoroughly than any Dom used him. And so, until tonight, he’d walked past Cam, knowing the “Full Metal Dom” brooked no boundaries.

He became aware of a bit of low laughter and a rising murmur around him. The crowd was restive, expectant. But Cam never hurried. Every man he took trusted him completely. And every one deserved the very best he could give them.

For Hunter, complex and caged inside himself, Cam remained poised at the gate. Until he saw his line all the way to the finish, he would not begin. The members looked back and forth from the dark figure on the floor to the blond sex god who seemed to be ignoring him for a more interesting text. A second low laugh reached him.

Chez Cannon appeared from the back of the club. Cam gave a slight lift of his chin, and Chez hurried to his table. He leaned over to hear Cam’s whispered instructions. Chez nodded he understood and moved off toward the play rooms.

Camden Snow stood up.

About Author

Adira August knows she is supposed to be interesting and entertaining in her bios on book sites. But rarely manages to keep up with her laundry and doesn’t feel very interesting.

They tell you to do this, write about yourself in 3rd person. Too weird for me.

Hi, I’m Addi. I write MM BDSM erotic/murder mysteries. (Sherlock and John the way they were meant to be.) Police procedurals, really. The Hunt&Cam4Ever series has been very well received. That was way too formal. Readers get addicted to the sex and my boys (cop sub, athlete Dom) and like the investigations. A lot. I’m addicted to them, too.

The sex is explicit. Some people think it’s “dark.” I just think it’s a bit intense. But between these men, it’s always a love story. Although not necessarily a romance. (It’s complicated, but people like it.)

There’s an m/f trilogy, too, all the same universe and the characters cross-over. The Hunt and Cam series starts with Matchstick Men and the m/f Desire for… series with Desire for Touch.

I was a cop and I always liked murder mysteries and I’m a BDSM switch, so all my books are based in reality. There’s an author on Twitter who, in his little “who am I?” thingy says, “I’m a fucking delight.” Which makes me laugh and I’d like to steal it, but, I’m not really not that delightful. Thing is, my characters are. Especially Twee.

I swear it’s worth reading the first 2 Hunt&Cam books just to meet her. There are free stories on my https://adiraaugust.wordpress.com/ blog so you can see if I’m a hack or not. Read Little Favor.

And I suck at brevity. Nice to meetcha.
-Addi
