Two for Boarding

Austin Morgan plays defense for the Minnesota Snow Pirates. He is easygoing, a trust fund kid and a skilled fighter, and his career is going well. His private life is not: a long-term relationship has just ended, and the split has shaken his sense of himself as a Dom. Until he trusts his own judgement again, he wants no relationships.

Then team trainer Mackenzie Abbott comes into his orbit, and he cannot stop thinking about her. Every reason to keep away is already in place. She works for the team, so she is off limits, and she is entirely vanilla. She also has secrets of her own.

Austin has to decide whether he can trust her enough to let her into his world. Mackenzie has a past she cannot shake, and it may be what ends things before they start.

Austin is a pleasure dom, which here means praise over orders, direction over force and encouragement to push limits. The romance builds slowly inside a hockey workplace, with open-door heat. It is a standalone with no cheating and no cliffhangers, and it promises a happy ending.
