In a world where a crop mutation has led increased aggression from most of the population, Connor Witt is an anomaly. The effects on him have been the opposite. And he's not alone. He's not just a submissive; he's hard-wired to crave a Master. Which makes the world a dangerous place.

Connor's boss is willing to step in to rescue him. Although David is straight, he will be Connor's Master to keep him out of the hands of more predatory men. But security consultant Emmett Drake doesn't think that's good enough. And he's willing to give Connor exactly what he thinks Connor needs. As the rights of the anomalies are being quickly stripped away, Connor finds himself uncertain of his future--and his present.

This started out kind of interesting. But it didn't take long for it to turn in a direction that completely bothered me. The way Connor is treated by individuals who tell him they care for him is frightening. And to be clear, this isn't just a BDSM relationship. It's made fairly clear that Connor has no choice, that all ability to consent or to walk away is gone. I finished the book, but it left me feeling uncomfortable and unhappy.
