"Say my name," he whispered hoarsely, his lips at my ear. "I don't even know your name," I gasped between moans. He pulled back just enough to meet my eyes. "Good." He thrust harder. "Then remember me like this." ******* That stranger should've stayed a memory. But fate had other plans. I came to New York to disappear.....to outrun the night I killed my abusive father to save my mother. To start over without looking back. Then I had one reckless night with a man who made me forget everything. Dominic Hayes—billionaire heir, devastatingly dangerous, and impossible to forget. I thought I'd never see him again. I was wrong. Just when I'm trying to rebuild my life, Ethan Lennox reappears. My childhood best friend. My first love. The only person who knew me before—and the one man who could unravel everything I've been hiding. Now I'm caught between the man who makes me feel alive and the man who makes me feel safe.

After a devastating breakup with her partner of nine years and fiancé of two, Tabitha Reynolds leaves everything behind and moves to Denver for a fresh start.

He’s charming, relentless, and every session with him blurs the line between professional and something far more dangerous. His touch is electric, his eyes promise things that have nothing to do with recovery. And when he pulls her close, Tabitha can’t remember why she swore off men in the first place. Michael pursues her with the same intensity he brings to the ice, and he’s not backing down. Now Tabitha must decide: is he worth breaking her own rules for? Or will letting him in only lead to more heartbreak?
