The Shift: Control: A Player/Trainer M/M Hockey Romance
Caleb Morrison built his name on impact.
After a brutal shoulder injury, he’s forced to relearn the game—twelve minutes at a time.
Under the steady supervision of the one man who refuses to let him push too far, Caleb discovers that control is harder than collision… and far more dangerous.
As the team evolves, stars rise, and the spotlight shifts, Caleb must decide who he is without the hit that made him famous.
Because the ice doesn’t slow down.
And neither does love.
The Control is Book Two in The Shift Series, a Boston-based M/M hockey romance featuring slow burn tension, emotional restraint, and men learning they don’t have to carry everything alone.
