If there’s one thing Mitch can’t resist, it’s a challenge, especially a beautiful one.

Is it just me or there an ‘e’ missing in the title?
Masters at Arms (Rescue Me #1) by Kallypso Masters
Masters at Arms begins the journey of three men, each on a quest for honor, acceptance, and to ease his unspoken pain. Their paths cross at one of the darkest points in their lives. As they try to come to terms with the aftermath--forging an unbreakable bond--will they ever truly become masters of their own fates? Or would fate become masters of them? (Book One in the Rescue Me series about the men who own the Masters at Arms BDSM Club.)AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is an introduction to the series, but does NOT have the Happily Ever After endings that will come in the next three romance novels in the series. Being the back-story that usually is not told in "real time," there are some intense themes in the book, including death of a spouse, incest, torture, a battle scene, and amputation.
Sophia over at Fiction Vixen Book Reviews posted some BDSM Kindle freebies so I picked up a couple. This particular one sounds really good and I can’t wait to read it.
