Roy is a 30 years old doctor with some bad experiences in the near past (he has served as Navy medic in Iraq) and some more bad experiences in the long ago past of his adolescence. When he retires from the Navy, he seems not be able to start with his normal life again and accepts the help of a friend (a special friend, who sometimes could be also a willing bed partner) and a work as bartender.

But one night drug dealer enters his bar when he is alone and Craig, a cop, and Sam, his Belgian Malinois partner, rescue him, gaining both a gun wound. Roy tends them both and some weeks after Craig comes to him. Criag is a strong and somewhat aloof man, but seems to be pretty involved in Roy. And so they share an hot sexy night, but Roy has some special needs: to bear his past he has entwined sexual pleasure with the pain. Will Coby be up to satisky his need? Or will Roy learn that is not always necessary to feel pain if there is true love?

Another very short story, 40 pages, with a lot thrown in the melting pot. In this case Deirdre O'Dare manages to tell us all is needed, but still I have the feeling to be swept by a tornado: a lot of info in so few pages are really a blurr. Again I will like it to be a little longer
