“Beautiful boy.” Richard paused to press his lips to Collin’s shoulder blade.
Collin groaned. “Master.” He was burning and he wanted to stay here, suffering in pleasure so sharp the pain drove any other thoughts away.
Collin is clinging to his dom and his sir, but also slipping away in the dark hours to hide his nightmares. The marks of the kidnapping run deeper than the physical scars they each carry. Thoughts of how his father died are returning in ways they haven’t in years.
Healing will time, but peace is just within reach—alongside Solstice gifts and Christmas pie.
Until the holiday is shattered by a phone call.
Now Damian and Richard are on the other side of the world, tangled between legalities and undefined enemies, while Collin and Émeric are holding down their home, preparing for the unknown and fighting the demons in their minds, waiting.
Will their dynamics survive the changes coming? Because The Residency is about to grow.
Grab your copy now and continue The Residency Boys saga.
This series is a modern MMM+ BDSM billionaire romance. Intended for mature audiences only. If you like your romance kinky and spicy, then this story is for you. See inside for additional tags and tw’s.

About the author
Ciara Darren
20 books34 followersCiara Darren is a contemporary romance author writing primarily MM+, but also MX, MF, and FF. Her stories are intense, slow burn serials with chosen family, high heat, power exchange, kink, and diverse representation.
The best place to start in her contemporary romances is Collin: Episodes 1-3, for a gentler introduction to polyamory and kink. Damian & Jun is a sequel serial that can be read on its own but is best after Collin: Episodes 13-15.
For darker work in the same line, look for Sanctum: Prior Claim, coming out Spring 2026, a second-chance romance about escaping the criminal underworld and surviving to thrive. This is a stand alone tie-in serial to The Residency Boys universe and contains spoilers for both the Collin and Damian & Jun serials.
