ETHAN POPE

Hockey and secrets have been my life since I can remember.

I don’t know when the secrets got out of hand. Maybe when I stopped recognizing myself in the mirror. Maybe when I nearly lost hockey. Maybe when I almost died.

Now my secrets and I are trapped on a PHL team, biding time as I prove that I’m worthy of my original spot in the Big Show. I have it all under control - my secrets, my career, my depression. There’s no other option, really, because there’s a promise beneath all the secrets - a promise I refuse to break.

It’s easy enough to pretend I have it all handled until Hayden Wallace comes barreling into my life, determined to discover all of my secrets - and maybe force me to discover a few things of my own along the way (like since when are men HOT?)

My best bet is to avoid him. Should be easy enough, right?

HAYDEN WALLACE

I’ve been loyal to my best friend since I can remember.

Unfortunately, that loyalty is the reason I find myself stuck in freezing-cold Michigan, working with a bunch of hockey players. It’s a favor. I’ll be the athletic trainer for Ian’s team for one year while he figures something else out, then I’m out of here.

Sticking around doesn’t seem so bad once I meet Ethan Pope, the man at the root of the biggest mystery in the hockey world - the rookie who nearly lost it all for reasons he refuses to share. I can’t stop watching him, analyzing him… wanting him.

The more I get to know him, the more I worry. He might be trying to push me away, but I’m not going anywhere.
