Daniel McKenzie walked away from a glittering underground world when he enlisted. Military service would give him purpose. Discipline. Control.
It didn't work.
Back in his canyon farmhouse overlooking the LA coast, he's restless. Hollow. He returns to the life he left behind-delivering intimate experiences people can't find anywhere else. Helping couples reconnect. Guiding them through breakthroughs only he can facilitate.
He's skilled. He's needed. He's completely burned out.
Months of shapeshifting for strangers leave him empty. He's losing himself in the roles he plays. When he retreats to the isolated Northern California manor where his journey began, he plans to stay alone.
Then Lorelai arrives during a winter storm.
She doesn't come to submit. She comes to heal. And she sees straight through his carefully constructed walls to the broken man underneath.
Their connection is primal. Consuming. Inevitable.
For the first time in his life, Dan wants something-someone-that isn't part of a performance. But wanting means risking everything: his control, his boundaries, the walls he's built to survive.
Sometimes salvaging your life means letting someone else gather all the broken pieces.
