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?

Swift sighed. “I expected as much. This statement, it’s angry. Anger goes with crimes of passion. Youdidn’t receive any threats until you and Mr. Rocha became a public ‘item’, correct?”


Brett and Rylan said together, “Yes.”


“Angry people are messy. They leave a trail of evidence that’s almost embarrassingly easy to follow sometimes. So, my theory is whoever is angry is working with a professional, someone not emotionally involved and who knows how to cover their tracks. They pick postcards that can be obtained anywhere and have probably already been handled by other people. The other postcards had, collectively, both of yourprints, those of Miss Rocha and Mr. Sebastian, and hotel employees. So, I think it’s safe to say the postcards were purchased in this hotel. On one of them we did pull a partial print of someone else. I contacted your FBI as well as Canadian agencies in the hopes we get a hit.” Swift shrugged. “Maybe this one will give us new information.”
