***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. With governmental and civilian contracts, the company started when the brothers and a few of their teammates from SEAL Team Four retired to the private sector. The company is located on a guarded compound, which was a former import/export company cover for a d**g trafficking operation in Tampa, Florida. Three warehouses on the property were converted into large apartments, the TS offices, a gym, and bunkrooms. In addition to the security business, there is a fourth warehouse that now houses an elite b**m club, co-owned by Devon, Ian, and their cousin, Mitch Sawyer, who is the manager. Much time and money have made 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 twenty Doms have been appointed Dungeon Masters (DMs), and they rotate two or three shifts each throughout the month. At least four DMs are always on duty at various posts in the pit and playrooms, 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 members take care of everything that isn’t scene-related and provide safety for everyone. They’re, 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 an 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.
