Rowan “Rook” Kincaid is captain of the Northgate Wolves, the kind of player who keeps his emotions locked down and his focus on the ice. He has to.
Because the one person who ever got past his defenses disappeared thirteen years ago without a word—and Rowan has never really recovered.
Soren Vale was his best friend, his almost-everything, and the boy who left him behind.
Now Soren is back in Toronto, drumming for a rock band, covered in ink, carrying more scars than Rowan knows what to do with, and still capable of wrecking him with a single look.
Seeing him again should bring closure. Instead, it brings back everything.
Because the chemistry is still there. The history is still there. And the love Rowan tried to bury never actually died.
But Soren’s return comes with painful truths, old wounds, and the kind of damage that doesn’t disappear just because someone comes home.
If Rowan wants a future with the man he never forgot, he’ll have to decide whether love is enough to survive the weight of the past.
Breakaway Beat is a second-chance MM romance packed with angst, yearning, heat, hurt/comfort, healing, and a hard-earned HEA. This can be read as a Standalone.
