"When Blake Brennan came out, he made NHL history. He was the elite goaltender of the New Jersey Ruby Reds, with a cute boyfriend and a bright career ahead of him. Now, he was single, and struggling both in net, and with his team.
Matthew Sawyer ended up living with his dad again after dropping out of college. His dad, the coach of the Ruby Reds, has high expectations for him. Matthew isn't sure what he wants out of life, but he knows he doesn't want the boring desk job his dad wants him to get.
When Matthew sees the famously gay goalie for his dad's team at a bar on New Year’s Eve, he goes for it. Has a little one-night-stand to spite his dad, even if his dad will never find out.
A one-night-stand leads to more, and when things get messy fast, they both have to take a leap of faith.

"One injured hockey player. One laid-off beat reporter. One giant mansion. Twenty-Eight days alone together.
Oliver Swan's career is over. Everyone can see that. He's been too injured to play for an entire season. But what legacy does a second overall player have to leave when he hasn't actually achieved anything in his career?
He can already see the headlines: Draft Bust Retires After Underwhelming Career. Fuck that. He's going to be remembered the way he wants to be. He's going to write a memoir.
Well, he's going to hire someone to ghostwrite his memoir. Enter Jordan Walsh, recently laid-off NHL beat reporter, and the only person who ever had anything nice to say about Oliver's career.
When Oliver came up with the idea for them to spend all of February together in his house in Colorado, he hadn't considered the fact that Jordan was beautiful. He hadn't known how sweet he'd be. This is a disaster.

"Nate, captain of the Washington Golden Eagles, was going to spend as much time with his best friend, Ryan, as he could that off season, even if that meant going to a tattoo appointment. His ex-fiancée (and mom's best friend's kid) was marrying the man she had cheated on Nate with, and Nate's mom told him skipping it was not an option.
Collin mostly had his life together. He loved tattooing. He'd built an amazing queer found family in Madison, and had a car that usually started. But he was also restless.
When Ryan suggested Nate take Collin to the wedding as his date to stir up some drama, it was the perfect chance for both of them. By the end, maybe they both would make a friend. Neither of them were expecting the sexual chemistry that sparked between them the entire weekend.
Nate thought he was straight. But if he was, why did Collin make him feel this way? Collin was helping him explore his sexuality, but they were keeping things casual. Nate had to leave Wisconsin to go play hockey at the end of the summer. Feelings would ruin the fun they were having. But it's never that simple.

"I'm living the dream, playing summer festivals to massive crowds. My band is on fire, my best friend by my side, and we're on top of the world.
I fell for him in the heat of the summer. I fell for the stars in his eyes. The way he said my name. I'll never love anyone the same.
But our story ended when it was just beginning.
Fame gave me more than I could ever imagine, but I'll forever suffer the cost. The summer of love and loss would forever be a stain on my heart.
I used to think life didn't come with second chances, until we're reunited for a world tour as dual headliners. Only he thinks I'm happily married, when in reality, my life is crumbling. My team won't let me announce my divorce, leaving him to believe I'm off limits.
We gave up on forever and I'd give anything for another shot at love.

"Jackson Harper had barely gotten his feet wet in the NHL before he was traded from LA to The Minnesota Northern Lights. It's hard not to take it personally, but he is going to make the most of being the only out gay hockey player in Minnesota.
Ryan Cosgrove is thirty-two, which means he's practically a geriatric hockey player. He won a cup a long time ago, and now all that's left is his empty house, his golden retriever, Lola, the tail end of his hockey career, and the weight of loneliness as everyone in his life pairs off to start families.
Their friendship is fast and easy, budding into a legendary bromance, if The Northern Lights' social media is to be believed. But despite the best of their intentions to keep their relationship friendly and professional, their feelings keep slipping into romantic territory.
Ryan has been down this road before. Getting into a relationship in the middle of the season with his liney and roommate is a recipe for disaster.
But despite all the best intentions, Jackson keeps finding himself in Ryan's arms. Will their feelings blow up in their faces, or can they figure out a way to have a real relationship?

Either way, this is their story. And they're sticking to it."
"From the age of five, I knew one thing: Blake Jacobi was going to be in my life for a very long time.
For years, he was my protector, my best friend, my shoulder to cry on. I even followed him to Chicago when he got picked up by an NHL team. Then lines got blurred and we landed in each other's beds, but we were able to push feelings aside and not let a few little slips ruin our friendship.
At least, that's what I keep telling myself.
Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with my best friend, and as much as I want to tell him, I can't. All out of fear of losing him.
So I hold in those words and try to lose myself in relationships that I really shouldn't be in. But my efforts start to feel as if they are for nothing when Blake lands himself in a jail cell. All because of me.
Now those words that I've been wanting to tell him may never see the light of day.
Because after the night that we just had, I might have lost Blake for good."

Kissing my best friend was a stupid mistake. It earned me a few good hits to the face by his hulking boyfriend, Sebastian, and I can admit that I deserved that.

Decisions need to be made, and everyone looks to me to be the one to make them. But how can I make a decision that will be in everyone's best interest, and not tear our hearts to pieces?
