Offside: An M/M Second Chance Hockey Romance
Seven years ago, Jesse Kovac sent the text that ended everything. One cowardly message that made the love of his life sound like nothing more than a college hookup.
Now, a midseason trade has put Jesse on the same NHL team as Garrett Sullivan—the man he's never stopped loving, and the one person who has every right to hate him.
Garrett's spent seven years trying to forget Jesse. He's built a career, a reputation, a carefully crafted life. But the moment Jesse walks into that locker room, all those walls come crashing down. Because the chemistry that made them magic on the ice in college? It's still there. Undeniable. Incendiary. Impossible to ignore.
What starts as "just physical" becomes something neither of them can control. Late-night hookups turn into morning coffee. Stolen glances become heated touches. And pretending they don't care becomes the biggest lie they've ever told.
But Jesse's still terrified of what loving Garrett means for his career. And Garrett's done being someone's secret.
One of them broke it. Both of them have to fix it. And falling in love is the easy part—being brave enough to keep it might cost them everything.
A second-chance MM sports romance featuring professional hockey players, friends-with-benefits that fools absolutely no one, and enough steam to melt the ice. Featuring on-page heat, emotional angst, a supportive found family, and a hard-won HEA.
