In Balthazar 'Ballz' Bornstein's professional opinion, every member of the metalcore band, Winter's Wrath, needs therapy. After years as an army psychologist, the security guard has the training, but working with soldiers was much different from managing men under the spotlight of the music world. Still, he's making progress. Except for Connor Phelan. Connor acts like a carefree jock, but Balthazar has glimpsed his inner pain and growing isolation from his bandmates. The young man is far too appealing and his lust for life, his playfulness, and his mischievous smile bring out the Dom in Balthazar. The security guard struggles to keep his job and his desires separate, but he's losing the fight. More so when competition shows up-Annette Paige, the wild, headstrong backup vocalist of another band. When a key member is injured, the two bands are forced to work together, but clashing egos, animosity, and passions jeopardize the entire European tour. The best way to keep the steady rhythm is to get the band members to behave professionally. It's not looking good, but Balthazar will do his best to keep the boys in line. Maybe a curfew will work. There's also been the suggestion of a leash, but the man he most wants to collar has already been caged by Annette. The Dom in him wonders if he could bring them both to heel. One word could bring them together. Or tear them apart. A word none of them can ever say... Mine.

He and his men won't stop fighting until they win the ultimate prize. There's no doubt when it comes to The Game.Off the ice, there's nothing but uncertainty. His life has been in a holding pattern and it's time to move on. Which might be easier without the lifestyle that has lost its appeal. As much as he loved training subs, he's tired of giving his all only to go home alone.Tragedy once brought him closer to Sahara Dionne, the exquisite, yet fragile Ice Girl, but when her abusive-ex darkens her path once again, Dominik can't help but wonder if his friendship might not be the best thing for her.But she craves his touch, his dominance, and his possession. Everything he desires is finally within his reach.All he has to do is take the shot.

Outcasts, black sheep, those who never fit in anywhere. Winter's Wrath belongs to them. Every single member of the band rejects the norm when it comes to music. They won't settle when it comes to love. Alder Trousseau, the lead guitarist in a band that owns his heart and soul, has always stood in the shadow of a man he hates. Braver "Brave" Trousseau, the voice of Winter's Wrath. For the success of the band, they have to work past their animosity, but that's difficult when they have the same taste in women. And men. Sex is a game to Brave. A game that might leave the people Alder cares for completely broken. Unless he claims them for his own. If he steps out of the shadows, he'll have no choice to play. To win. On stage, the drama drives the fans insane. The songs they sing are a blood racing, body moving, warcry. But the very real battle taking place between the snares and the mic might tear the band apart.

A pace ahead of the play can send you back to the start. And put everything you've worked for at risk. Single mother and submissive Rebecca Bower abandoned her career as a sports reporter to become a media consultant with her brother's hockey team. A failed marriage to a selfish man makes her wary of getting involved with another. Unfortunately, chemistry is hard to deny, and all her hormones are dancing when she gets close to the Cobra's sniper, Scott Demyan. Zachary Pearce 'came out' to the world last season to shift attention away from a teammate. And his one night with Scott Demyan had been unsettling. There could be more there, if only Scott was a different person. Instead, a night of sensual BDSM play with Becky leaves him wanting more, but she thinks he's gay and questions his interest. It's been a long time since a woman has attracted him both as a man and a Dom, and he'll do everything in his power to prove she's the only one he needs. Or wants. His one time with Scott was a mistake. Scott might have forgotten what happened in his childhood, but the effects linger, and he specializes in drunken one-night stands...until he meets Zach and Becky and sees what he's missing. But neither one believes Scott can be faithful. Although he's trying hard to clean up his act to avoid getting kicked off the team, they want more from him. He's willing to make changes, but the most important one-putting their happiness before his own-means he'll probably end up alone.

A young woman who expects nothing from him slips into his life and has him ready to toss the rulebook. While the man he loves tempts him to burn it. Keeping them both would be easy, only...caring about them isn't. Because when he lets himself care, he remembers why he wrote the rules in the first place. Every lover, from the casual, to those who steal a piece of his heart, shouldn't expect more than pleasure. More than passion. Playing the game, on and off the ice, is his whole world.

And when old scars are ripped open, and he's left bloody and beaten, the rules won't help him put the pieces of his life back together. To win this fight, he'll have to break each and every one.
