Summary
“Well hello there, little bird,” he purrs, running his calloused fingertips along Monty’s prominent collarbone. His touch is almost more cruel for the gentleness of it. At least the other men did not hide behind pretense.
Monty jerks away. He knows better, he really does. But the little spark in him has caught kindling, and his chest is filling with both smoke and rage.
The golden-eyed man laughs. “Oh, birdie, I do like my pets feisty. That just makes it all the more fun to bring you to heel.” He makes a show of looking Monty up and down. “Or, for the especially pretty ones, to kneel.”
Monty can taste ash on his tongue when he seethes, “My name is Monty, and I am no one's pet.”

Captain Thomas King is a notorious pirate known for buying boys for company at sea. If anyone were to find out that he did so to save them from a worse fate, he would risk losing everything.
Monty Finch is his latest purchase. Monty, who refuses to believe that Thomas will do him no harm.
When a small but efficient group of liberators sets their sights on freeing Monty, Thomas and Monty's tenuous connection — and Thomas’ entire operation — threatens to crumble around them.
