Pro hockey star Ryan Price may be an enforcer, but off the ice he struggles with anxiety. Recently traded to the Toronto Guardians, he-s determined to make a fresh start in the city-s dynamic LGBTQ Village. The last thing he expects to stumble upon in his new neighborhood is a blast from his past in the fabulous form of Fabian Salah.
Aspiring musician Fabian loathes hockey. But that doesn-t stop him from being attracted to a certain burly, ginger-bearded defenseman. He hasn-t forgotten the kiss they almost shared back in high school, and it-s clear the chemistry between them has only intensified.
Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan-s guide to the gay scene in Toronto. Between dance clubs and art exhibits-and the most amazing sex-Ryan-s starting to feel something he hasn-t experienced in a long time: joy. But playing the role of the heavy on the ice has taken its toll on his body and mind, and a future with Fabian may mean hanging up his skates for good.
