The Handler (The Manhandled Series Book 1)
August Jonesauthor’s note
Hi! Welcome to the tour. This novel is an erotic M/M standalone romance with graphic content meant
for mature, open-minded readers. 18+.
Here are a few things to consider if you’re trying to decide whether this book is your catnip:
We have an age gap, kink, BDSM, a gay awakening, and some group scenarios. There are also a
few MFM “sharing” scenes that in no way affect the monogamy of the main couple, or constitute
cheating (in my opinion). It’s all part of the journey to an HEA.
Trigger warnings: Past child abuse, only mentioned, never depicted. Homophobia. Casual drug
use. Explicit sex.
Gideon York is one of the most famous queer men in the world, but since his very public sex scandal,
he’s on the verge of being permanently cancelled.
Up for three Grammys this year, he needs to get through his six-week European tour without
further incident or bad press.
That’s where I come in. Call me his security detail, bodyguard, babysitter, or handler—I’ve been
hired to keep him within my line of sight and out of trouble until the award ceremony. Should be a
cakewalk.
But nothing about Gideon or his life is ordinary, and no interaction I have with him feels anything
less than charged. He makes me question everything I thought I knew about fame, desire, and
sexuality.
The more I know him, the more he invades me. The more I let him in, the more I lose myself.
Gideon York is no cakewalk. He’s a recipe for disaster. And it turns out—I’m here for it.
