Cole Mackenzie will answer any question about hockey. His stats, his strategy, what went wrong in the third period—he's brutally honest about all of it. But ask him about his personal life? No comment.
When the Philadelphia Flyers trade for the talented but "difficult" winger, they know his media reputation needs work. Enter Sebastian Cross, a crisis management specialist who's handled everything from political scandals to celebrity meltdowns. One guarded hockey player should be easy.
Except Cole isn't difficult—he's protecting a secret he's spent his entire career hiding. And Sebastian isn't just another PR handler trying to make him play nice for the cameras. He's the first person who's ever made Cole want to stop hiding.
As their professional relationship blurs into something neither of them expected, Cole faces an impossible continue living in the shadows, or risk everything he's built for a chance at something real.
A steamy hockey romance about finding the courage to be seen, the power of unconditional support, and learning that the truth will set you free—even when it's terrifying.
