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?

Rylan saw Brett with Jim and Ed making their way back to the table.


“I think you’re going to love what Ed and Collin, he’s the owner, devised,” Brett said and sat down.


The music playing switched to something slower again. Rylan reached over and took Brett’s hand. “I didn’t expect the dancing. I was shocked, that’s all. Are you still interested?”


Brett’s face lit up with a smile that make the corners of his eyes crinkle. “Sure!” He stood up and gripped the back of Rylan’s chair, helping him scoot away from the table far enough to stand.


Rylan’s cane was left hung on the back of his chair and Brett’s hand on his arm steadied him while he found his balance. As they walked to the dance floor Rylan glanced around the restaurant. No one was watching, or pointing or even paying attention to them. A few deep breaths and Rylan relaxed.
