Winning Shot

He was supposed to focus on hockey—not fall for the man who made his smoothies. College hockey captain Alex Brain has spent his entire life chasing one dream: the NHL. Scouts are watching. His father expects perfection. His team needs a leader. Falling for another man was never part of the plan. Duncan Maxwell never expected the campus hockey star to walk into his smoothie shop. What begins as a lucky pre-game drink quickly becomes a routine neither of them wants to break. Behind every Green Machine smoothie are quiet conversations, stolen smiles, and a growing attraction Alex can no longer ignore. But loving Duncan means confronting truths he's spent years hiding. Between championship dreams, family expectations, and the fear of losing everything he's worked for, Alex must decide whether playing it safe is worth losing the person who finally makes him feel alive.
