Northern Stars Hockey #1
First Collision
He came to earn a spot on the team.
He never expected to collide with the one man he shouldn’t want.
Nineteen-year-old rookie Alex Prior has one chance to prove he belongs in the Northern Stars—the most feared team on the ice. Determined, hungry, and carrying the weight of everything he left behind, Alex is ready for the fight of his life.
What he isn’t ready for is Captain Marcus Hale.
Marcus is discipline, control, and iron-bound loyalty wrapped in a body that was built to lead. He’s the calm inside a storm, the man every player looks to—and the last man Alex should be staring at with a heartbeat he can't explain.
Their first collision isn’t on the scoreboard.
It’s in the locker room.
In the way Marcus’s voice roughens when he says Alex’s name.
In the way Alex’s defiance sparks something Marcus buried years ago.
As tensions on the ice escalate and pressure mounts from the front office, Alex and Marcus are pulled into a slow, dangerous gravitational pull—one that threatens both of their careers and the team they love.
Enemies spark.
Teammates clash.
Something much more dangerous takes root.
First Collision is a high-emotion MM hockey romance featuring a rookie/captain dynamic, slow-burn intensity, forbidden attraction, sports pressure, hurt/comfort, and a guaranteed HEA.
Content intense hockey action, mild violence, panic/anxiety, and consensual MM romance.
