Silken Courage (Silken Edge #5)
Laci Paige

Eventually, Stan reinvents himself and starts over with a new business in a small town. He makes new friends who challenge his preconceptions about the world of BDSM and kink and he finds a companion in Crystal, who forces him to face and embrace the demons he wasn’t aware he needed to conquer.
Stan works hard to become a success but somehow he knows there’s always the chance that his past won’t release him. When the time comes for him to make the hardest decision of his life, he has to trust in himself and his friends to make the right choice, even if he risks destroying everything he’s built.
