Book 2
The Bench
An MM Age-Gap Best-Friend's-Brother Hockey Romance
Two men. One brother between them. Six years of looking at each other peripherally. And the season Dominik Voss finally looks directly. Oliver Kashani has been the Beaumont Crown's backup goaltender for two and a half years and the Voss family's best-friend-of-the-younger-brother for seven. He has trained his hands to be still. He has been not-thinking about Emil's older brother since he was twenty-two — Dominik Voss, the Halstead Sentinels' first-line center, the one Oliver is paid to stop, the one Oliver does not look at directly. Dominik divorced his wife last November. Sarah figured it out before he did and left him with the kind of grace that made him understand, slowly, that what he had spent twenty-six years not naming was the actual shape of his life. When Oliver moves to Beaumont as the Crown's new 1B goaltender — the city where Emil already lives, two streets from the apartment Emil just bought — Dominik drives the two and a half hours up to help carry a couch up two flights of stairs, and the man whose hands he has been peripherally watching for six years answers the door barefoot in a coffee-stained t-shirt. What follows is slow, careful, and built in the specific small spaces a backup goaltender and a first-line center on rival teams have for each other across a season. A slow-burn best-friend's-brother MM hockey romance with a goalie/skater dynamic, dual close-third-person POV, and a hard-earned happy ending. The Beaumont Fortress, Book 2. Standalone. Enrolled in this complete series. -

Offside at Midnight
An MM Out and Closeted Slow-Burn Hockey Romance
Cade Bellinger has been the league's openly out poster boy for seven years and is starting to forget the difference between being free and being on display. Niko Rasmus has been the Halstead Sentinels' silent veteran for fifteen and is starting to forget the difference between privacy and absence. The summer they meet by accident in a small coastal town in Maine, neither of them recognizes the other in civilian clothes for a full chapter — and both of them remember. Cade is on a self-imposed silence retreat in Sebago Cove. Niko is in the same town visiting his Norwegian aunt. Two men in civilian clothes. Three weeks. The bookshop, the ferry dock, the lobster shack, one room above a garage. The second half is the season. Cade openly visiting Niko in Halstead. Niko's father Jens flying in from Tromsø. A Halstead photographer with a long lens. A contract year. One photograph, one news cycle, no statement. And the small new chair by the window in Niko's apartment that Cade buys him in late November. A slow-burn out × closeted MM hockey romance with a Norwegian veteran defenseman, an out winger learning to stop performing freedom, dual close-third-person POV, and a hard-earned happy ending. The Beaumont Fortress, Book 3. Standalone. Enrolled in this complete series. -
