Peter Liney honed his strong narrative skills and attention to detail during his long career as a writer of German, Australian, British, and South African television and radio programs. In his debut novel, The Detainee, Liney has crated a dystopian world in which the state has gone bust and can no longer support its weakest members. The Island is a place of hopelessness. The Island is death. And it is to this place that all the elderly and infirm are shipped, the scapegoats for the collapse of society. There’s no escape, not from the punishment satellites that deliver instant judgment for any crime—including escape attempts—and not from the demons that come on foggy nights, when the satellites are all but blind. But when one of the Island’s inhabitants, the aging "Big Guy" Clancy, finds a network of tunnels beneath the waste, there is suddenly hope—for love, for escape, and for the chance to fight back.

Caged
by a neglectful master, Sierra dreams of the freedom she had in the wilds, far
from the city-dwellers who use women with wild genes as hunting pets. When her
inept owner tires of her biting him, he brings her to Master Kade, a specialist
trainer. Upon seeing her pitiful state, Kade confiscates Sierra from the fool
who mistreated her and takes her as his own.
From
the moment Sierra lays eyes on Kade, she’s sure of two things: the muscular,
scarred man carries the same wild gene she does, and just as importantly, he is
used to getting his way. Sierra has no intention of being trained without a
fight, but she soon learns that her new master is more than ready to make her
obey, even if that means a hard spanking on her bare bottom. As much as she
resists him, Kade quickly proves he can be gentle as well as firm. Being in his
arms makes Sierra feel safe, and when he takes her to his bed she finds herself
satisfied in a way she has never felt before.
Her
training reaches a new level when Kade allows his best friend, a doctor, to
thoroughly, intimately examine his pet, leaving her blushing with shame yet
helplessly aroused. Doctor Charles is everything Kade is not—debonair,
educated, and a model citizen—yet Sierra finds herself irresistibly drawn to
his quiet dominance. Between Kade's wild appeal and Charles' calm allure,
Sierra isn't sure where her future lies, until she discovers that while a pet
cannot serve two masters, she can be shared by them.
