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?

One of the men stood up as they closed in on the table, the other waited a few seconds and did the same thing.


“Brett, we’ve missed you. As you can see we didn’t wait for you to start,” the first man said.


“Ha! I’d expect nothing less.” Brett shook his hand. “Faye, Ed, how are you?”


Brett introduced Rylan to Jim and Faye Greenburg, then Ed Lander. Rylan didn’t consider himself a shy person, heck he performed routinely in front of hundreds of strangers. However, every so often shyness struck inexplicably and at the most inopportune times. Maybe it was because these were Brett’s friendsand he wanted them to like him, that he felt shy now.


He smiled softly and managed to get words out of his mouth. “It’s nice to meet all of you.”
