CROSSING THE BLUE ICE

Crossing the Blue Ice An Emotional M/M Hockey Romance He was the last man Dylan Kovacs could afford to want. After twelve years of hiding who he is, NHL enforcer Dylan Kovacs has perfected the art of survival. Keep his head down. Protect his career. Never let anyone get close enough to become a threat. One scandal already cost him everything once, and he's determined never to make the same mistake again. Then Detroit pairs him with Eli Morrison—a talented rookie winger who is openly gay, relentlessly optimistic, and impossible to ignore. On the ice, they're unstoppable. Off the ice, every stolen glance, late-night conversation, and accidental touch chips away at the walls Dylan has spent a lifetime building. But professional hockey is still a world where whispers spread fast, reputations are fragile, and one wrong move can end a career. As their chemistry becomes impossible to hide, Dylan must choose between the life he's spent years protecting and the man who's teaching him what it means to truly live. Eli has been here before. He knows what it's like to love someone who only wants him in secret. He swore he'd never settle for being someone's hidden truth again. Now the only question is whether Dylan can overcome the fear that's haunted him for years—or whether the cost of loving openly will be more than either of them can bear.
