A large, beautiful tattoo piques the narrator's interest one day at the gym. And then he realizes the tattoo is but one feature of the young man who wears it. He decides the rest is even better. Clement Tyler is forty-two when readers first meet him. And the object of his obsession, Dominick, is in his early twenties--and most likely straight. Clem is a comfortably affluent self-employed business man with a broken heart. Dom is a mysterious kid with a past and lots of secrets. Will they forge a relationship?

INK OBSESSED, the first volume of Bruce K Beck's Obsession Trilogy, follows Clem and Dom (and Clem's friends and relations) as they try to build an unlikely bond. Nothing is easy: Every moment of simple pleasure is bought with harrowing experiences that leave Clem exposed to danger--even the possibility of murder. INK OBSESSED is suspenseful, but it's also tender, funny, intensely erotic, and deeply invested in the emotional lives of the characters as they search for what will make them whole.
