A Broken Collar. Collars, #3

Six months after their collaring ceremony, Rick and Nichole believe they have mastered the delicate balance of their dynamic. Their bond feels stronger than ever-until Rick's ambition outpaces his skill. Obsessed with advancing his rope techniques, Rick finds himself torn between the safety protocols demanded by his mentor and the desire to prove himself as a capable Dom. In his haste, he begins hiding the truth from the one person whose trust matters most.
But when safety is compromised for the sake of pride, the consequences ripple far beyond the bedroom. A Broken Collar shifts the focus of the trilogy from discovery and play to the harsh reality of accountability. With significantly less erotic content than its predecessors, this novella delves deep into the emotional wreckage of a breached promise. It is a story about the weight of hubris, the long road to redemption, and whether a relationship can survive when the person sworn to protect you becomes the source of the danger.
