“Thighs, Ethan thought stupidly, thighs thighs thighs. Even though he’d never been particularly into a guy’s thighs before.
But Hank’s were right there, and they were so, so . . .well, something. Pale and muscled and thick and crazy strong. It was hard to pretend he was normal about them.”
There’s nothing Ethan Barnes has wanted more than to play hockey with his brothers. Avery, Charlie and Ethan have been dreaming about uniting the Barnes brothers on one team since they were barely old enough to hold a hockey stick.
Starting his rookie season on the New York Bandits, Ethan’s finally going to get the chance to play with his brother Charlie. But while Charlie’s great—a fantastic roommate, a better teammate, and a damn good forward—it turns out the guy Ethan’s really interested in doesn’t have a last name of Barnes.
Hank Tucker’s been working his ass off for two years to make the Bandits opening roster as one of their starting defensemen. What he needs is determination, hard work and focus.
What he doesn’t need is a rookie forward with a famous last name, who, since the first time they met at development camp last year, has permanently moved into his thoughts with his rumpled curls and magnetic smiles and killer body. No matter how grumpy Hank is or how determined he is to shake him, Ethan’s sunshine ends up buried deep under Hank’s skin.
Hank’s always been sure he was straight. But Ethan tempts him and entices him and ultimately, makes himself so irresistible Hank’s got no shot at holding back.
Especially when it turns out that Ethan’s not just been working hard to make a spot on the Bandits’ roster but in Hank’s bed, too.

There’s nothing Charlie Barnes has wanted more than to play hockey with his brothers. Avery, Charlie and Ethan have been dreaming about uniting the Barnes brothers on one team since they were barely old enough to hold a hockey stick.
When Avery’s traded to the Bandits mid-season, it should be the happiest day of Charlie’s life. Charlie loves having his big brother around again, but not everything is roses and sunshine.
Charlie’s best friend Max—and the guy he’s secretly been in love with since his rookie season—is suddenly challenged by the team, the media and the fans to step up and be better leadership material than the newest Barnes addition. Everyone’s tired of the Bandits losing and the big trade means that winning is no longer optional.
Being captain of the New York Bandits isn’t always easy, but Max Meier loves it. Loves the team and his teammates enough to give up his dreams of playing hockey in his native Germany.
But there’s nobody he loves more than Charlie Barnes. He never dreamt Charlie might return his feelings, until a leaked video makes it crystal clear Charlie feels the same.
It’s a challenge, navigating the intense politics of a hockey team, even without the big brother of your unrequited crush hovering over your shoulder.
This time, though, Max is determined to ace every test, score the goal, and win Charlie, once and for all.

There’s nothing Avery Barnes has wanted more than to play hockey with his brothers. Avery, Charlie and Ethan have been dreaming about uniting the Barnes brothers on one team since they were barely old enough to hold a hockey stick.
Getting traded to the New York Bandits has made that dream possible, and Avery’s been enjoying every moment of it.
There’s only one wrinkle, and wrinkle’s name is Matt Daniels. AKA Danny.
Danny’s obnoxious and funny and actually kinda hot. But from the moment Avery arrived in New York, Danny’s made it clear that he doesn’t want Avery around.
Doesn’t want Avery interfering with the team. Or with the other guys. Or in games. Or in the locker room. Doesn’t want Avery period since he keeps insisting that he’s straight.
Except that Avery wants him.
He knows he should stay away, that he should give Danny the space to hate him in peace, but his crush—and the looming playoff run they’re all hoping to go on—make both of those impossible.
