Blurb:
After last season’s heartbreaking loss to his hockey team’s
archrival, Jacksonville Sea Storm goalie Riley Hunter is ready to let go of the
past and focus on a winning season. His new roommate, Ethan Kennedy, is a loud
New Yorker with a passion for social justice that matches his role as the
team’s enforcer. The quieter Riley is attracted to Ethan and has no idea what
to do about it.
Ethan has no hesitations. As fearless as his position demands,
he rushes into things without much thought for the consequences. Though they
eventually warm to their passionate new bond, it doesn’t come without
complications. While trying to financially help Ethan, Riley must hide his
family’s wealth so as not to hurt Ethan’s immense pride. For their relationship
to work, Ethan will need to learn when to keep the gloves on and let someone
help him—and Riley will have to learn it’s okay to let someone past his
defenses.

Excerpt:
His phone beeped, alerting him that he had a new text
message. It was from Ethan Kennedy, the defenseman the Storm had acquired
before the trade deadline last spring. The rowdy Kennedy, who had a heavy New
York accent and was a huge fan of the New York Rangers—a team Riley hated, by
virtue of being a New Jersey Devils fan—had bunked with him for a few weeks
during the finals. He’d gone back to New York after the Storm lost in the
playoffs. Riley hadn’t been sure if he was coming back or not, but the text
message indicated he’d just gotten back to town, and would Riley mind picking
him up from the airport?
And oh, he got a cheaper rate by flying into Tampa, which
was three hours away. Was that a problem? And one last thing. Riley didn’t need
a roommate by any chance. Did he?
Riley looked around his apartment, which was nice and clean
and quiet. Just like it always was, except for those few weeks last spring when
Ethan was there. He was loud and messy and always in Riley’s space, left
half-full cans of Pepsi everywhere, drank whiskeys with dubious-sounding names,
and smoked like a chimney.
be there in 3 hrs,
Riley texted and grabbed a few boxes of coconut water out of his fridge. The
idea of coming home alone after games reminded him of those car rides in
Wyoming, and he was getting tired of the silence.
