Topping the Alpha

Who’s Who and the History of Trident Security & The Covenant

***While not every character is in every book, these have the most mentions throughout the series. This guide will help keep readers straight about who’s who.

Trident Security (TS) is a private investigative and military agency co-owned by Ian and Devon Sawyer. The company started with governmental and civilian contracts when the brothers and a few of their teammates from SEAL Team Four retired to the private sector. The original six-man team is referred to as the Sexy Six-Pack, as they were dubbed by Kristen Sawyer, née Anders, or the Alpha Team. Trident has since expanded, and former military and law enforcement members have been added to the staff. The company is located on a guarded compound, a former import/export company that was a cover for a drug trafficking operation in Tampa, Florida. Three warehouses on the property were converted into large apartments, the TS offices, a gym, and bunk rooms. There is also an obstacle course, a Main Street shooting gallery, a helicopter pad, and more features necessary for training and missions.

In addition to the security business, a fourth warehouse now houses an elite b**m club, co-owned by Devon, Ian, and their cousin, Mitch Sawyer, the manager. A lot of time and money has gone into making The Covenant the most sought-after membership in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area and beyond. Members are thoroughly vetted before being granted access to the elegant club.

Over fifty Doms have been appointed Dungeon Masters (DMs), and they rotate two or three shifts each throughout the month. At least four DMs are on duty at all times at various posts in the pit, playrooms, and the new garden, with an additional one roaming around. Their job is to ensure the safety of all the submissives in the club. They step in if a sub uses their safeword and the Dom in the scene doesn’t hear or heed it, and ensure the equipment used in scenes isn’t harming the subs.

The Covenant’s security team takes care of everything else that isn’t scene-related and provides safety for all members and are essentially the bouncers. The current total membership is just over 350. The fire marshal had approved them for 500 when the warehouse-turned-kink club first opened, but the cousins had intentionally kept that number down to maintain their elite status.

Between Trident Security and The Covenant, there’s plenty of romance, suspense, and steamy encounters. Come meet the Sexy Six-Pack, their friends, family, and teammates.
