Jesse Camacho has been in love with Eli Kowalski since the day they met. Years of Thursday dinners, late-night texts, and a friendship that became something more. Something secret. Something that gives Jesse everything he wants except the one thing he needs: Eli's heart.
The rules were simple from the start. Jesse can be Eli's sub. Never his boyfriend.
Eli does not do relationships. The last time he let someone in, they destroyed him. Now he has walls so high that even he cannot see over them. Jesse is the exception he never planned for, the one person who makes him feel safe enough to let go. But letting go in the bedroom is different from letting go everywhere else.
When their teammates come out to the locker room, Jesse watches two men choose each other over fear. And something in him finally breaks.
Pick me. Choose me. Or let me go.
Eli has spent years protecting himself from exactly this moment. Now he has to decide what scares him more: losing Jesse, or opening his heart.
Iced In is Book 2 in The Ice Breakers Series, a spicy MM hockey romance featuring best friends to lovers, a secret friends-with-benefits arrangement, BDSM elements, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
