Rogue Bonds

Growing up on Rendol 4, Aiden Hill only ever wanted to help better his planet. Now a lieutenant in the Alliance Military, he is doing just that, defending the population from space pirates, slave traders and a rogue species fighting them for colonisation rights of the planet. But during a mission gone awry, Aiden stumbles upon Kade, a brainwashed slave who immediately imprints on him and declares Aiden to be his master. But slavery in the Alliance is strictly forbidden, leaving Aiden attempting to rehabilitate his unexpected charge, despite Kade’s obvious reluctance to cooperate.

Zeke’s childhood dream of being a pilot in the Alliance Military has been shattered. A hellish mission to an alien planet left him injured, traumatised, and with the majority of his crew dead. So now, he spends his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol, and wondering what the hell he’s supposed to do with the brainwashed slave who accidentally imprinted on him at the tail end of that doomed assignment. Dax knows he’s not good at obeying his master.

Trained as an erotic companion, Xel has spent the past three years serving an arrogant and selfish master, constantly hoping for a life in which he’s truly appreciated, but never finding it. But all that changes when his master dies suddenly, and Xel is sent to live with Cole, his master’s estranged nephew.
After a tragedy took his family from him five years ago, Cole has retreated into a life of isolation and solitude, spending his days caring for injured and abandoned pets in the city’s largest animal sanctuary.
