Last Chances. Denver Diaries, #7

There's a difference. There's a difference between abuse and consensual play. There is no safeword in abusive situations. There is no trust. Lucas Maes is being abused. He's stayed with his abuser out of fear. A Dominant man is driven by the servitude of his submissive, but an abuser is driven by the fear he instills in those he abuses. There is a difference. The final book of the Denver Diaries Collection is about to take you on an emotional roller coaster, the likes of which you've never received from Rain Carrington.
Lucas is taken in by the men of Chaps, and they see he is desperate for help but doesn't know how to ask. Tony started by giving him a job. Xen and P. J. befriend him, but it is Ferris and Isaac who fall in love. Not one person is afraid to pitch in all they can to help the abused man, and he finally makes his escape, running for his life. Rooney Jones doesn't let go easily. He enlists a group of armed and dangerous men to help to try to get Lucas back.
When they can't find him, they get the next best things. The people Lucas cares about the most. As five men are taken, the others use all their skills and connections, including those that will bend and break laws to find them. Will they get to them in time? Will Lucas ever forgive himself? What does the future hold for the men of Denver? In this seventh and final book of the Denver Diaries, we visit with all the men of the previous books, as well as many from other series who lend a hand.
We say goodbye to Chaps when it's sold to new owners, leaving Lonnie and Travis free to enjoy their growing family in Apishipa Creek, where they've returned to live. This is a journey of discovering. Abuse leaves a shell, and often those abused don't know who they truly are inside if and when they get free. Friends and family can help, lend support, but Lucas knows it's up to him to discover who he truly is, under the scars.
