About this ebook
Former Marine, Jack Thompson is freshly divorced and owns a gym in a small Gulf Coast town. But single life isn’t always what’s it’s cracked up to be and he finds himself stuck in a rut. Jack’s employee and young protégé, Matt Flynn, who follows the older bodybuilder around like a puppy, harbors a secret crush on his boss and role model. When Matt presents Jack with an offer that he can’t refuse, the lonely straight dad has no choice but the rise to the challenge. Short story is approximately 9000 words and includes an older/younger pairing, dominance and submission and a first-time encounter.
Keegan Kennedy
Originally hailing from Mississippi, Keegan Kennedy is a writer based out of Memphis, TN. He's a self-described, ‘aging, former sex symbol’ with a kinky imagination. Keegan is fascinated with the natural power exchanges between dominant and submissive males, and his stories reflect that fascination. The fantasies that he shares are full of adventure, peril, bondage, and a dry wit. And he has a knack for uncovering love and romance in the darkest of places. With a tendency toward the melodramatic, he does more than arouse or excite the reader - he engages them.Author of Homecoming: International Number One in four countries: The United States, The United Kingdom, Germany and Canada.

About the Author
Rise to the Challenge
One day bleeds into another, and without realizing it—a man can find himself in a rut.
Like clockwork, I’d opened the gym at five in the morning, and because I owned, operated and ran the place, I was going on hour seventeen…
With the time sitting at 9:45 p.m., the end to yet another long day was coming to a close. Like every other night, over the last couple of months, my plan was to go home, scarf down some food, watch a little bad TV, get a few hours sleep and then get up and do it all again the following day. After all, there wasn’t anyone waiting for me at home—a fact for which I was most thankful…
Back when I was twenty, I’d married my high school sweetheart, Cindy, and we’d been together for twenty-five years before our divorce six months ago. For twenty of those years, I was in The Marine Corps, where I’d spent the majority of my time in combat zones in some of the worst third-world toilets imaginable. In these shake and bake countries, my unit was constantly pitted against enemies that were so poor and uneducated that all they had to cling to was violent, fundamentalist religious beliefs. Despite being a loyal Marine and following orders, I had enough damn sense to think for myself and not let others tell me how to think.
The Corps hadn’t been all bad. There’d been some good times, and I enjoyed the grueling physical challenges, but I’d gotten sick of suicide bombers, jungle warlords, and cowardly assholes with long beards killing folks by using children and fools to do their dirty work. So, at
