The Goalie's Secret: A Steamy MM Hockey Romance with a Closeted Player and Hidden Relationship

Beckett Halloran has kept every secret the ice ever asked of him. The new trade arrival he's been assigned to show around is the one man alive who already knows all of them. And the chemistry between them on the ice is the most dangerous thing Beckett has ever felt.

Beckett Halloran has stood behind every net in the Eastern Conference and let nothing through that he didn't want through. Eight years as a professional, a reputation built on stillness and precision, and a private life so tightly controlled that not one teammate, agent, or beat writer has ever gotten close to the truth of him. He is the Vikings' starting goalie, the backbone of their defensive structure, and a man who has made a long peace with the distance between what he shows the room and what he actually is.

Then Rhys Ellery arrives at training camp with a new jersey and a history Beckett wasn't warned about.

Rhys Ellery has played more professional hockey than most men in that locker room combined. He knows the league, knows the game, and knows exactly what it costs to be the kind of man neither of them are willing to name out loud in front of a room full of teammates. He's been traded into Beckett's building, assigned to Beckett's line, and there is no version of this season where they stay out of each other's orbit. The problem isn't chemistry — they have that in dangerous abundance. The problem is that Rhys doesn't do quiet. He doesn't do careful. And Beckett has spent eight years being nothing but.

He's built a life around the silence. Rhys lives in the space after the whistle. One of them is going to have to give. The playoffs are coming. And the locker room is always watching.

With a playoff run tightening around them and a season that refuses to let either man stay in his lane, Beckett has to choose between the controlled life he built and the one that's standing two stalls over every morning, refusing to pretend the air between them is ordinary. Hiding was always the plan. It just didn't account for Rhys Ellery.

Perfect for fans of Eden Finley, Avery Keelan, and Sarina Bowen. The Goalie's Secret is a full-length standalone MM Hockey Romance with HEA and no cliffhanger. Contains mature content, steam, and a veteran goalie who has never once let his guard down until now.
