Dans sa nouvelle équipe de hockey désastreusement mal gérée, c’est le chaos. Ryan Wright s’attend à perdre des matchs, pas son cœur.

La décontraction de Ryan devrait être un avantage à Indianapolis. Même s’il marque peu sur la glace, il aide volontiers ses coéquipiers en difficulté. Et celui qui a le plus besoin d’un ami, c’est Nico Kirschbaum, censé être la superstar de l’équipe.

Méfiant de voir arriver dans l’équipe un autre joueur gay, Nico comprend vite que la direction tente de le lui coller dans les bras. D’accord, il a un problème, mais il compte le résoudre seul en travaillant avec acharnement, pas en faisant ami-ami avec le clown de service.

Peu à peu, Ryan découvre en Nico un solitaire doué qui craque sous la pression. L’entraînement ne suffira pas à colmater les brèches de sa psyché. Malheureusement, pour convaincre Nico d’accepter son aide, Ryan doit se rapprocher de lui, jouer sur son sens de l’humour et risquer son cœur.

Nico et Ryan vont-ils tenter leur chance ou continueront-ils à gâcher les opportunités qui s’ouvrent devant eux ?

MORGAN JAMES is a clueless millennial who is still trying to figure out what he will do when he grows up and enjoys life in the process. After earning a degree or two, spending time in Europe and trying different careers without success, he is eager to see what fate has in store for him. James started writing before he could spell, he was still a schoolboy when he finished his first (unpublished) novel. He has never stopped since. By turns Greek, artist, archer and fanatic, Morgan spends his free time in imaginary worlds, with characters from the books he reads or the movies he sees, an addiction as strong as his love of coffee and tea. He lives in Canada with a huge collection of books he hasn't read yet and is in the service of too many four-legged creatures.
