Dangerous Power Play
I’m Connor Macleod—captain of the college hockey team, campus golden boy, the guy who never has to try too hard.
After the whole scandal freshman year—when a drunken video outing me went viral and everyone suddenly knew the captain of the hockey team was gay—I expected to lose everything. But the opposite happened. My teammates had my back. The campus didn’t care. If anything, people accepted me more than I ever expected.
So yeah, being openly gay was never the problem.
Catching feelings? That’s the part I’ve always avoided.
And Maxime Tremblay?He was supposed to be the same as every other guy. A one night stand
Except one night turned into weeks.
And somewhere between his sharp tongue, his stupidly cute beanies, and the way he looks at me like he actually sees me and I forgot the rules.
He thought we were becoming something real.
And I let him believe it… right up until the night I proved him wrong in the worst possible way.
The problem is, for years I thought I wanted someone else.
Tyson Bennett—the guy I chased, the one I was sure would finally make me feel something real. The guy who was supposed to end my endless string of hookups.
But when I finally got him?It didn’t feel right.
Now Maxime hates me. He won’t look at me. Won’t talk to me. Won’t give me the time of day.
And for the first time in my life… I actually care.
Because I don’t want Tyson anymore.
I don’t want another meaningless night.
I want the guy with the beanies, the sharp mouth, and the heart I shattered.
And this time?
I’m going to fight like hell to win him back.
