Realizing I'm not as straight as I thought I was is wildly inconvenient.

Falling for the rookie backup gunning for my job? That's career suicide.

LOUIS

I'm Louis Tremblay: two-time Cup champ, King of the Crease, and the guy who keeps the locker room cool when everything's on fire. I've spent thirty-four years being very, very sure I like women. (I'm an excellent judge of these things. Obviously.)

When my shoulder gets mangled, my backup slides into my crease, and suddenly it's my job to mentor the man I can't stop thinking about. I've never wanted a man before. But I've never wanted anyone the way I want him.

TANNER

I don't do reckless. I fold my socks, I time my showers, and I absolutely do not fall for the veteran whose job I'm here to take. I came to Seattle to prove I belong in this league, and no one and nothing is going to stop me.

But backing up my childhood idol through the worst injury of his career cracks something open in me. Being with Louis is the only time I don't feel like a guest in my own life.

Now another team is offering me everything I ever thought I wanted.

Everything except him.

***

Two goalies, only one crease, and a connection neither saw coming. If they choose each other, one of them may have to give up the net. If they don't, they could both lose the only place that's ever felt like home.

Tropes Include: Goalies in Love, Grumpy × Sunshine, Rivals-to-Lovers, Bisexual Awakening and one very judgy bearded dragon named Cookie.

Louis is a standalone MM hockey romance in the Seattle Sasquatch series.
