Alaric Wynn has one goal: make it to the pros and make his father proud. As college hockey captain, he’s disciplined, talented, and certain nothing will distract him.
Then Jovian Mercer joins the team.
The reckless, sharp-tongued rookie challenges Alaric at every turn—on the ice and off. Their rivalry is already a problem. It becomes a disaster when Alaric panics and tells his parents he has a boyfriend. And there’s only one person available to play the part. Jovian Mercer, who Alaric believes is gay.
Jovian agrees—on his own terms. What starts as one dinner quickly spirals into a high-stakes performance involving family pressure, career-making opportunities, and a kiss neither of them can forget.
The biggest risk isn’t getting caught. It’s the possibility that Alaric is falling for the one man he’s spent months fighting… in a world where being gay could cost him everything he’s worked for. Jovian refuses to stay hidden, while Alaric refuses to risk his future.
On the ice, Alaric knows how to win.
But when it comes to love, he might be his own worst enemy.
