USA Today bestselling author Catherine Gayle presents another novel in the sexy Tulsa Thunderbirds hockey romance series. Rites of Passage is book 4 in the Tulsa Thunderbirds series.
Where do you go once you've hit rock bottom?
With his world already in shambles, Andrew Nash's life plummets even further after a freak accident on the ice exposes his deepest secret. Still unsure if he should ever return to the game he's devoted his life to, the future Thunderbirds captain knows he isn't quite ready to throw in the towel. Meeting a talented and sexy artist changes everything for Drew.
But Ravyn Penn's past is darker than his, and her wounds cut deeper. Drew's looking forward, but Ravyn is stuck dwelling over a life that leaves her guilt-ridden and full of regret.
Drew's a fighter, and he knows they need to claw their way out of the past-together-even when the future promises no guarantees. But can Ravyn let go and blindly trust him-taking a rite of passage through the darkness-to find the life they both deserve?

A Burn Like This (Mature Jocks Series #4)
FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. DANGEROUS. BEAUTIFUL. SURREAL. Those were the words Jodie Henning used to describe the man she fell in love with, the first time she met him. HAZEL. BLACK. CRIMSON. Those were the colors she associated with his bright eyes, his long dark waves of hair and the scars on his back and upper chest. GUTTURAL. PRIMAL. SELFLESS. Those were the words she used to describe her time in bed with him, a time that edged itself into her memory, a time she continued to dream about for days and months afterwards. PAIN. HURT. RED. Those were everything she felt on his wedding day; throat closing, on the verge of tears, overwhelming sadness and pure pain. A SADDENING GLIMPSE OF HOPE That was what she felt when he came up behind her and whispered Shakespearean promises into her yearning ear. ALEXANDER MATEO HIDALGO III also known as Alex Clayton, number 77, left forward for the Seattle Kraken. But that changed since he got married, he barely shows up for shows or red carpets.
