Some things are worth waiting a lifetime for… Once upon a time, playing for the NHL was Colby’s dream. But every closeted guy knows you don’t hit on your teammate, even if Radimir Novicov is sexy, smart and talented, and even if his gaze lingers longer than it should…All it took was one drunken close call before their friendship was in tatters and their hockey careers went in opposite directions. Now, seventeen years later, Colby is the new video coach for Novi’s team.

Novi has two years left on his contract and he’s counting down the days. Because while he’s playing professionally, he can’t come out. Not with his family still in Russia.

He didn’t count on Colby Kessinger walking back into his life. The one who made his heart want things it can’t have.
