White Smoke by Magnus Thorne

Almost a year after Aden follows his ex-dealer Gage across the country, he finds himself mostly alone in the dead of winter as Gage hides in plain sight as a bartender. The hasty introduction to Gage's new “business partner”—a silver-tongued local named Travis—doesn’t help. Desperate for details and beguiled by Travis's easy going nature, Aden tentatively places his trust in him, only to develop feelings equally forbidden and undeniable. Strung between two dangerous men willing to kill for him, Aden eventually learns more than the simple truth of what Gage and Travis are planning—and that he’s just as capable of making bloody decisions to protect them. WHITE SMOKE is a 58k m/m dark erotic novella. As it's the direct sequel to BLACK CLOUD, reading as a standalone is not advised. Content warnings and tags are located in the front matter.
