Chains of Command

Book 2 in the Stolen Young Men trilogy, Chains of Command continues Mark Ryland’s descent into blackmail, corruption, and sexual brutality.

Mark Ryland thought the worst part would be losing control.

He was wrong.

Blackmailed, brutalized, and trapped inside Jimmy’s expanding dark-web operation, the once-cocky young detective is no longer the man calling the shots. Under his father’s cold political ambitions and Jimmy’s ever-tightening grip, Mark has become both weapon and property—forced to break other men on camera while his own leash pulls tighter by the day.

Then Mateo walks back into his life.

Young, bright-eyed, and painfully sincere, Mateo is an idealistic campaign intern who still believes in justice, in public service, in the polished lies of the Ryland machine. He’s exactly the kind of man Mark should protect.

Instead, he becomes the next target.

As the county barn turns into a private stage for corruption, blackmail, and filmed submission, Mark is pushed into an impossible role: obedient enforcer, hungry predator, and unwilling pawn. Every order he follows drags Mateo deeper into a nightmare built by powerful men who know exactly how to weaponize desire, shame, and fear.

But in a world where authority is just another kink and every camera is always rolling, loyalty curdles fast. Bodies break. Power shifts. And the line between domination and ruin gets bloodier with every scene.

Warning: Chains of Command is a dark, explicit story of blackmail, corruption, coercion, and sexual brutality. It contains graphic M/M dubcon and noncon, bondage, impact play, humiliation, forced submission, and other extreme content. For mature audiences only. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
