Branton When tragedy strikes and everything I know is ripped away, I spiral out of control. Throwing away the people and career that mean everything to me, I hide away, let my wounds fester, never believing I’d find my way back. Then Blake Watts walks back into my life with an offer I shouldn’t refuse, and a reminder of the love and life I had before I let someone else destroy it. Destroy me. Blake Branton Lattimer should have been mine, but circumstances tore us apart. Now, I need him for the Baton Rouge Rogues, and I don’t care what demons we both have to face to get him on the ice in my team’s colors. We should be able to work together, should be able to put the past behind us and forge a working relationship. Except the heart is a tricky thing and some loves are never meant to die.
