When Caleb escaped to Veil Lake, he wasn’t looking for a team, a home, or a man.
At nineteen, he’s finally put some distance between himself and the family and church that have a word for what he is.
Veil Lake offers something else: a new life, and the chance to figure out who he is when no one else is deciding for him.
Connor came back to Veil Lake to look after his family, not to find someone. But after giving Caleb a shot on the ice, he finds himself making room for him off it too.
In his life and eventually in his bed.
Caleb knows he wants Connor. Wanting him is the easy part. Staying means something harder: believing he can build a life around the things he was taught he should never want.
