Peter Ellis is a rookie probation officer in interior British Columbia when he gets saddled with a file that goes sideways. Heâs not in the best headspace to start with, since his marriage broke down last winter. Now itâs the middle of summer, the rodeoâs coming to town, and the one solid thing left in his life, his job, suddenly bucks him hard. Former NHL player Todd Nolin is Peterâs new \"client.\" Peterâs job is all about risk management, and Nolin is a good bet to commit more mayhem. The victim is Toddâs wife, Marina Faro, who has been badly beaten and feels her estranged husband is bent on killing her. Peter grapples with his need to keep Marina safe while maintaining a rein on his own attraction to her. Thereâs no doubt that the local hockey hero is dangerous, but Marinaâs something of a puzzle herself. All Peter knows is heâs drifting outside the line, and what lies beyond may be death. |
