Brett Rocha retired from pro-hockey while still at the top of his game. Co-owner of a chain of restaurants and an inherited ice skating academy, he seems to have it all. Despite his fame, wealth, and good fortune, though, Brett suddenly finds himself painfully alone. Ex-Olympic figure skating star Rylan Hennessy transitioned to professional ice dancing with Celia, Brett’s sister and Rylan’s lifelong partner on the ice. Then tragedy strikes, and Rylan’s world is turned upside down, too. With the unexpected death of Celia, Brett and Rylan are drawn together through their mutual grief. Their bond strengthens when Brett introduces Rylan to BDSM, a lifestyle Rylan has never experienced before. While the mystery of Celia’s murder still needs to be solved, a second tragedy threatens to tear them apart. Will their relationship survive, or will love be enough to see them through this life altering, harrowing change?

“Thank you! I like how this jacket turned out. Little bit of tux and a little bit of performer. One of my better creations.”


Brett laughed and buttoned the jacket up. It was black with pipping in the colors of his hockey team. Sewn along the hem were fabric replicas of Celia’s medals and his team’s logo. The whole look was formal, classy and nicely represented what they’d both accomplished during their lives on the ice. He pulled on his skates and laced them up then stood still while the designer adjusted and tugged the material of his clothes into place.


Rylan had already skated two routines as part of the entire group and was in a different part of the arena with the other performers. Brett would have liked to spend a few private minutes with him before going out and addressing what looked like several billion spectators, but that wasn’t going to be possible. Rylan had changed and left the locker room while Brett was getting his hair and make-up done.
