Hands of Power

Richard Doyle is a star on his semipro rugby team and a self-avowed ladies’ man, but he knows something is missing. Caught up in his ultra-masculine world, he’s resigned to making the best of his limited life-until an injury on the field brings him to the office of physiotherapist Alan Jennings and he feels the touch of a Master.

Alan Jennings isn’t looking for love when Richard walks into his office, but something draws him in, and Alan senses that Richard’s sexuality is coiled like a vibrating spring just under the surface.

The sex is amazing, but Alan will have an uphill battle if he means to convince Richard to trust him and to indulge fantasies that are taboo in his world. It will take all of Alan’s patience and careful dominance-and a visit to friends in Cornwall-to convince Richard to embrace his new erotic identity as a submissive gay man and to trust the found family that comes with it.

Hands of Power is an erotic exploration of gay awakening, the BDSM lifestyle, and the bonds of friendship that cross into bonds of family.

T.J. Masters lives in Hertfordshire, England with his husband of forty-two years, and he enjoys the love and support of his large Irish family who live nearby. In 2009, T.J. took early retirement from a thirty-three-year teaching career and retrained as a life coach. While coaching a couple of would-be authors, he was inspired to give his own writing its chance.

With a life-long passion for books and learning, T.J. knew that he had stories to tell, books to write, and less than half a lifetime left to do it in. His books are firmly grounded in the lived personal experience of a sixty-eight year old gay man who believes that life should never be something that just happens to you. A broad set of interests and a love of people in all their variety are reflected in the settings of T.J’s stories and the fascinating characters who inhabit them.

Aside from being an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction, he enjoys gardening, cooking, traveling, science, art, music, and history. T.J. is active in both charitable and not-for-profit organisations in the LGBTQ+ community.

Social media gives T.J. an outlet for his inner geek and he can be found on Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), Threads, and YouTube, where he loves to interact with his many readers and followers. Of course there is also a website at www.tjmasters.com.
