David Cross’s life is a mess.
Between juggling a demanding job, a brilliant but impossible son, and a string of nannies who quit before their first paycheck, he’s barely keeping it together. He needs help; desperately.
Enter Mihail Turgenev. Young, quiet, and carrying enough baggage to fill a cargo plane, Mihail is the last person David expects to be the solution to his problems. But Leo takes to him instantly, and despite his doubts, David hires him.
What starts as a practical arrangement quickly becomes something else entirely. Because Mihail isn't just changing Leo’s life—he’s changing David’s too. Piece by piece, the guarded young man with haunted eyes and a hidden past begins to unravel everything David thought he knew about himself.
And the most unexpected part? David doesn’t mind at all.
A slow-burn, BDSM Romance about found family, healing, and the love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. - "The Manny'" is the fourth installment in the 'Tales of the Whip' series.
