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?

When Brett woke up Rylan was still pressed solidly against him, though they’d both changed positions. Rylan was on his side and Brett wrapped around him from the back.


After they’d dressed, Brett’s first task for the day was delivering Rylan to rehearsal.


They were met near the locker rooms by a man holding up a badge in one hand and extending his other hand.“James Markus.” Brett was given a robust handshake.


“Oh, I know who you are. This is one of my better assignments. It’s such a pleasure meeting you.” James Markus might have easily been one of the most outgoing people Brett had ever met.


Rylan dug into the large duffle bag he’d slung over one shoulder and pulled out a jersey and program. He nudged Markus’s arm and smiled. “We remembered.”


Markus pocketed his badge and held the jersey out in front of him. “Oh, wow, this is great.” Brett’s hand was pumped again. “Thank you!” Next he took the program and admired it, flipping through the pages.
