Meet Brett Dalton

Brett Dalton (Broken Trust)
Appearance
At 22, Brett Dalton turned heads without trying. His golden-brown hair always looked like it had just caught the sun, and his gray eyes held a softness that made people feel instantly at ease. Slender but toned, he moved with the kind of grace that came from years of dancing. His smile was warm, sometimes mistaken for flirting, but Brett wasn’t playing games—he was just naturally magnetic.

Backstory
Brett grew up in the UK with parents who never wanted him. After school, he was locked in the basement, isolated and mistreated. By fourteen, he’d had enough. He ran away to Dublin, Ireland, where he found refuge in a nightclub. The owner saw something in him—something worth saving—and helped him gain Irish citizenship.

Life in Dublin wasn’t easy, but Brett made it work. He danced, he bartended, he survived. At 22, he moved to Galway hoping for a fresh start, only to be abandoned by his so-called friend Sean. With no transportation and no plan, Brett was stranded and desperate for work.

He reached out to Master Cleary, a Dom he’d met at BDSM Camp, and started hitchhiking toward Cleary’s Pub. A torrential rainstorm washed out the road, but fate stepped in. Darragh McGregor, a rugged and kind thirty-year-old, offered Brett a ride. That moment marked the beginning of something new—something that felt like hope.

Brett’s search for a loving Dom had left him bruised and abandoned more than once. But he hadn’t given up. Not yet.

Education
Brett’s schooling was limited. He was allowed to attend classes but forbidden from making friends. Most of his time was spent locked away. He ran away before finishing school, and being homeless made education impossible. He still carried the fear that his lack of formal education made him less desirable to Doms.

Occupation
Brett worked as a bartender at Murphy’s Pub in Dublin and danced at Sugar Boys Club. Sean, his friend at the time, had him model for BDSM demonstrations at camp. Work was survival, not stability.

Relationships
Brett didn’t have many relationships—he was always working, always trying to stay afloat. He thought something real might grow with Sean, but it only brought pain and confusion. What Brett wanted more than anything was a Dom who truly loved him. Someone who saw him as their one and only.

Personality
Brett was kind, eager to please, and deeply loyal. He used to believe everything people told him, especially when it came to love. But he’d learned to speak up when he was wronged. He wasn’t naïve anymore—just hopeful.

Hobbies & Interests
He loved dancing, hiking, and being outdoors. Gay clubs gave him a sense of belonging, and when he made friends, he cherished every moment with them. He also enjoyed reading—stories helped him escape, helped him dream.

Dreams
Brett dreamed of being someone’s number one. Of having a Dom who loved him fully and without conditions. He longed for real friendship, real connection. And more than anything, he hoped Darragh McGregor might be the one to give him both.Meet

Darragh McGregor

Darragh McGregor

Appearance
Darragh McGregor had a voice that could cut through silence like a blade through silk—low, commanding, and impossible to ignore. His ginger hair was always neatly styled, his beard trimmed to match, framing a face that was both rugged and refined. His blue eyes had a way of locking onto someone and making them feel seen, sometimes too deeply. He was striking—broad-shouldered, tall, and dressed like he belonged in a luxury magazine spread. Whether in a tailored suit or riding gear, Darragh carried himself with quiet authority. His scent—earthy, masculine, with a hint of expensive spice—lingered like a promise, and Brett swore it could short-circuit his thoughts.

Backstory
Born into wealth, Darragh had every material comfort growing up, but what set his childhood apart was the love. His parents weren’t just providers—they were present, nurturing, and fiercely proud of him. They sent him to Boston for university, believing in his potential to lead, to build, to care. And he did. But beneath the polished surface, Darragh always felt a quiet ache—a longing for connection that went deeper than business or casual flings.

Education
Darragh earned his degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management in Boston, graduating with honors and a reputation for leadership. But it was at a private BDSM training camp where he found his true calling—not just as a Dom, but as a guide, a protector, and a partner. He studied the psychology of submission, the art of aftercare, and the ethics of power exchange. He didn’t just want control—he wanted trust.

Occupation
Darragh owns and operates the Emerald Hotel and Restaurant in Galway, a high-end boutique destination known for its elegance and discretion. He’s hands-on with everything—from the wine list to the linens—and his staff respects him not just for his standards, but for his fairness. The hotel is his pride, but it’s also his fortress, the place he retreats to when the world feels too loud.

Relationships
Darragh had spent years in short-term dynamics, always hoping one would turn into something lasting. But most subs wanted the fantasy, not the reality. He was tired of being admired but not truly known. What he wanted now was simple: a permanent sub. Someone to build a life with. Someone who could handle his intensity and return it with devotion.

Personality
Darragh was a man of his word—steady, grounded, and deeply intuitive. He didn’t raise his voice unless it mattered. He was the kind of Dom who taught through patience, not punishment. Protective to the core, he could be possessive, but never controlling. He believed in structure, in care, in the kind of love that required effort. He had a soft spot for broken things—not because he wanted to fix them, but because he understood what it meant to be cracked and still worthy.

Hobbies & Interests
He thrived on managing—whether it was a business, a household, or a scene. He loved horseback riding, the rhythm of it, the connection between rider and animal. Gay clubs were his playground, but he preferred quiet nights with close friends. Cooking was his therapy, especially when he could make something comforting for someone he cared about. Above all, he found joy in nurturing—whether it was a garden, a team, or a heart that needed healing.

Dreams
Darragh dreamed of collaring a young man who saw him not just as a Dom, but as a partner. He wanted monogamy, stability, and the kind of relationship that could weather storms. He didn’t need perfection—he needed honesty, loyalty, and someone who could meet him halfway. And when he met Brett, something in him stirred. Maybe, just maybe, this was the beginning of everything he’d been waiting for.r

Carter Higgins shows up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying the quiet authority that makes people straighten up without being asked.

But he also sees the fear, the longing, and the spark Ethan tries so hard to hide. Carter knows that look—he’s worn it himself.

As the two of them clash, circle, and collide in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blur fast. Ethan wants freedom. Carter wants peace. Neither expects to want the other.

But on a ranch where secrets don’t stay buried and families don’t forgive easily, falling for the wrong man might cost them everything… or finally give them the chance to live the lives they’ve always wanted.
