Both marked by their past, they get wrapped up in each other—literally.

Private investigator Benji Spade has had a rough year. Between his long-term boyfriend dumping him, learning he has a twin brother, and trying to keep his co-owned business afloat, his head hasn’t stopped spinning. The upcoming holidays certainly aren’t helping. Maybe it’s a side effect of spending his childhood in foster care, constantly being shuttled from one home to another, but Benji never feels settled. Even taking the plunge to move into a new apartment doesn’t make him feel steady. Of course, maybe that has something to do with the dead body…

Dr. Jackson Bentley lives a quiet life. As he heals from his tragic past, he’s dedicated himself to teaching new generations of scientists while studying poisonous plants. He certainly wasn’t expecting an adorable, but insistent, PI to accuse him of murdering one of his students with said plants. Did he mention the PI is adorable?

Once Benji and Jackson join forces, they start trying to unravel who is really behind the murder. But as they get closer to each other and realize they share some kinky interests, the grad student’s murder may not be the only knot they’re untying—if Benji can stop fighting Jackson long enough to let him in, that is.

Hot Plant Daddy is a gay romance between a feral tabby cat private investigator and a calm, sexy professor who is patient enough to deal with his drama. It includes rope bondage, self-tying, a daddy kink (light, no ageplay), first times, holiday festivities, and a love of all things plants. It is the second book in the Chains series, a set of interconnected romantic suspense standalones that are set in the fictional Clancy County, North Carolina, all with a connection to the local fetish club, Chains.
