He thought he knew exactly who he was... until one unexpected roommate changed everything.
Star center
Mason Carter
has always lived by a simple playbook: hockey comes first, women come second, and emotions stay locked behind the boards. Fresh off a painful breakup, the last thing he wants is to share a condo with one of his teammates after an apartment flood forces the team into temporary housing.
Defenseman
Noah Hayes
is calm, dependable, and impossible to rattle. He’s also openly bisexual, comfortable with himself, and determined to give Mason the space to figure out his own life—even when living together makes ignoring their growing connection almost impossible.
What begins as an inconvenient roommate arrangement slowly becomes shared breakfasts, late-night conversations, grocery runs, road trips, private midnight skates, and a friendship neither of them expected.
Then admiration turns into jealousy.
Jealousy turns into longing.
And longing becomes a love Mason never saw coming.
As the Thunderhawks fight their way toward a championship, the pressure on the ice is nothing compared to the battle inside Mason’s heart. Choosing Noah could change everything—his career, his family, and the future he always imagined.
With the biggest game of their lives on the line, Mason must decide whether winning hockey’s greatest prize is enough... or if the greatest victory is finally choosing the man he loves.
