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?

Brett got up and crossed the small room and opened the door. A woman greeted him and came in.


“Mr. Hennessey, you probably don’t remember, but we met yesterday. I’m Cora Merrill, I’m—”


“I know who you are, Dr. Merrill. Everyone in professional sports knows who you are,” Rylan said in asneutral a tone as he could manage. He didn’t want to be rude, or seem ungrateful, but the simple fact was, if she was involved his condition was worse than bad. She only took the most difficult—hopeless—cases.


Dr. Merrill glanced at Brett before she moved the computer stand around so Rylan had a good view of the screen. “Do I have your permission to speak openly with Mr. Rocha here?”


“Doesn’t he already know everything?” Rylan asked.


“Now that you’re out of anesthetic and able to speak for yourself I have to stop explaining your condition to anyone else.” She nodded toward Brett. “Since Mr. Rocha was an emergency contact I did speak to him while you couldn’t speak for yourself.”
