Reckless On Ice: A MM hockey romance (Gods Of The Ice Book 1)

Ryder Kingston Acting on impulse is my specialty, but hey, I’m a man of action. My reckless words land me in hot water when some jerk captures a moment meant for my teammates' ears only. Unfortunately, the video goes viral and turns me into public enemy number one. To rehabilitate my image, my agent demands I undergo sensitivity training—whatever the heck that is. With my new hockey team thinking I’m not worth the trouble & considering trading me, yet again, I’m forced to agree. The biggest issue? My golden boy of a tutor and new housemate is none other than my childhood best friend-turned-enemy, Knox Contraire…who probably still hates my guts. Forcing us together is bound to teach me a lesson, I’m just not so sure it’s the one I’m meant to learn. Knox Contraire You think you know a guy until he turns on you and makes your life a living hell. In a twist I didn't see coming, my best friend became my biggest enemy, and I lost the person closest to me. Hurt, fear, and betrayal pushed me into the closet. My career as a tight end in the NFL has kept me there. Now, I live quietly to keep others comfortable, even if it means missing out on the life I really want. In an unexpected turn of events, I’m thrown into the spotlight when my past shows up on my literal doorstep. If I want to keep my job, I have to take him in and teach him how to control his troublemaking mouth. The only problem is I don’t know how to let Ryder Kingston back into my life, while keeping him out of my heart. He’s here to learn a lesson, but what happens when the teacher becomes the student? Perfect for fans of scorching M/M sports romance with all the emotional grit, Reckless On Ice brings you hockey heat meets football fire in a childhood-friends-to-enemies-to-lovers showdown.

It’s proof that sometimes the hardest battles are the ones fought off the field—and the sweetest victories are the ones won in the heart.
