Power Play Hearts

Tyler Maddox has always known exactly who he is. Captain of the Evanston River Otters. Leader. Professional hockey player. Nothing has ever shaken that certainty. Until Gavin Brawley. Gavin has loved Tyler for three long years, hiding his feelings behind friendship, loyalty, and championship dreams. Sharing locker rooms, road trips, and hotel rooms has never been easy, but losing Tyler completely would hurt even more. Then one unforgettable night changes everything. A single kiss shatters every boundary Tyler thought defined him. Now the two teammates find themselves caught between growing desire and the demands of professional hockey. Their solution seems simple: No one can know. Only on road trips. Hockey comes first. And absolutely no feelings. But some promises are impossible to keep. As the season intensifies, championship pressure, relentless media attention, family expectations, and secrets inside the locker room threaten everything they've built. The closer Tyler and Gavin become, the harder it is to pretend they're only teammates. Sometimes the biggest risk isn't losing the championship. It's risking your heart.
