Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy romance that builds on genuine history and unresolved feelings between characters who know each other deeply.
  • You appreciate hockey romance with authentic sports details and a summer camp setting that feels lived-in.
  • You're looking for LGBTQ+ romance where the emotional journey of self-discovery feels as important as the physical connection.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need your romance protagonists to communicate clearly from page one; these two spend weeks dancing around the actual issues.
  • You prefer standalone romance without any angst about coming out or family acceptance.
  • You want a slow-burn that takes its time; this one moves into physical intimacy relatively quickly once they reunite.

About this book

Jamie Canning lost his closest friend four years ago when his tattooed, wise-cracking roommate cut off contact without explanation. The two had shared an unusual night at hockey camp when they were eighteen, which Jamie dismisses as drunken foolishness. Now, with their college hockey teams meeting at the national championship, Ryan Wesley sees an opportunity to apologize for a bet he once made that crossed boundaries in their friendship. When Ryan reappears as a coach at the summer hockey camp where Jamie also works, old feelings resurface. Jamie seeks answers about their estrangement, but instead finds himself drawn into a physical relationship with Ryan. As their involvement deepens over six weeks, Jamie must confront difficult questions about whether sex can destroy a friendship—and discover truths about himself in the process. The novel contains sexual situations, hockey-related scenes, and explores themes of friendship, attraction, and self-discovery.
