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.

Right now, he was concerned with taking good moods from Rylan when he could get them and devising ways to make his times of depression decrease. At this particular moment, he had some excellent ideas on how to accomplish his goals.
