Pratt stops everything. Sully starts it.
Goalie Brock Pratt has built his life on control.
For six seasons, he's been the Chicago Ironhawks' starting goalie—precise, disciplined, untouchable. His routines are fixed. His world is ordered. It's the system that keeps him at the top of his game.
Sully O'Reilly is an unplanned variable.
A late-night bartender with too many stories and a smile he hands out easily, Sully arrives at Pratt's door mid-sentence and never quite finishes one. He talks too much. Laughs too loud. Keeps moving when most people would stop.
It starts with a mistake—Sully walking into the wrong condo—and doesn't stop there.
Because Sully doesn't just disrupt the routines. He sees past them.
And Pratt, in turn, starts to notice what Sully keeps moving to avoid.
As the Ironhawks push toward the playoffs, the pressure tightens. On the ice, the system has always held. Off the ice, it starts to fail.
Because when Sully's past catches up with him, he doesn't fight. He fades.
And Pratt, who has never needed anyone, has to decide whether he can be the kind of still that Sully can finally stop for.
Content note: This book contains references to suicide and explores the emotional aftermath of loss.
Genre: Gay Romance
