Grudges & Goalposts: A Spicy MM Hockey Romance
Not yet published
Expected 21 Jul 27Two guys traded to the same team. One decade-old grudge that was never really about hate.
Graham
I don't hold grudges. I do hold this grudge, specifically, against this guy, specifically, because Alfred Briggs earned every bit of it back when I told him I loved him and he told me exactly what he thought about that. I built a whole personality out of hating him, which worked great for ten years. Then the Glaciers traded for him, and suddenly I'm sharing a locker room with my first heartbreak.
Briggs
Nobody's called me Alfie since Graham stopped. I've spent ten years regretting exactly one conversation. Now he's my teammate, he's dating a guy who is annoyingly perfect for him, and I hate it. I hate watching them together, I hate the way Nate looks at me, I hate that I can't sit through one dinner without ruining it. I keep telling myself it's guilt. It is not guilt. It hasn’t been guilt in a very long time, and everyone but me seems to have figured that out already.
Grudges & Goalposts is a spicy M/M sports romance about the friend you can't forgive, the ex you can't stop rooting for, and the ten years it takes to admit a grudge was just heartbreak.
CONTENT NOTES
This book contains references to a past instance of internalized/casual homophobia in a rejection, themes of grudges rooted in old heartbreak, a supporting ex-boyfriend/best-friend relationship, jealousy and miscommunication between love interests, and explicit M/M sexual content. Intended for readers 18+.
Second Shots is a series of standalones and can be read in any order.
