A Strong Hand
by Catt Ford
Dedicated to my dearest friends Liriel and Kennedy, who
believe in me, love me, and are always in my corner.
To Liriel, who asked for the story because without her utter
belief that I could do it, this story would never have been
written.
And to Kennedy, who encouraged me and held my hand all
the way through, even though this is not his cup of tea.
And to E.N. Thank you.

A Strong Hand
by Catt Ford
Prologue
At the sound of the crash, Damian rolled his eyes
heavenward and wondered for the hundredth time whatever
had possessed him to hire such a clumsy, surly, irritable,
annoying, immature, and inexperienced assistant.
Taking a deep breath to quell his irritation, he raised his
voice to ask, "Are you all right, Nicholas?"
"Yeah," came the muffled reply. Even at a distance Damian
could tell that the boy was frustrated and angry.
"What was it
this
time?" he asked.
Ashley's eyes crinkled in silent laughter as he sat, perched
on the stool, where he'd been watching as Damian set up the
shot.
"Nothing breakable," came the defensive answer.
"Have it cleaned up by the time I get out there," Damian
instructed, before muttering, "to save me from having a heart
attack."
The response was indecipherable, but the resentful tone
was clear.
"Why do I put up with this?" Damian sighed to himself.
"Why do you?" Ashley asked, chuckling. He was quite sure
he knew the answer; after all, the hapless assistant was by
far the most beautiful young man that Damian had ever
hired. They never seemed to last long, but Ashley was certain
that all of them had "skills" outside the arena of photography.
