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

Beckett Halloran has spent eight years as captain of the Yorkshire Vikings keeping every secret the ice ever asked of him. His private life is locked down, his public face is flawless, and the gap between who he is and what the room sees has become so familiar he stopped feeling it years ago. He has never told his best friend. He has never told his coach. He has never told anyone who did not already know.

Then Rhys Ellery walks through the tunnel at training camp.

Rhys is thirty-two, Welsh, the best goaltender the Vikings have had in a decade, and a man who has been exactly who he is since he was twenty-three. He sees Beckett in his first thirty minutes on the ice. He sees him clearly. And he says nothing, because he has been here before — closeted men, hidden rooms, the particular cost of being someone's secret — and he made himself a promise in a kitchen in Nottingham nine years ago that he has not broken since.

He plans to keep it.

The seven a.m. walks on the old city walls were supposed to be professional. The night in Cardiff was supposed to be nothing. The cottage in Wensleydale, the Prague hotel room, the home game after the story breaks — none of it was supposed to go this far.

But Beckett Halloran is falling in love for the first time in his life, and Rhys Ellery is the man standing in his kitchen making pasta, and the season does not care how ready either of them is.

Perfect for fans of Sarina Bowen, Eden Finley, and Avery Keelan. The Goalie's Secret is a full-length standalone MM Hockey Romance with HEA and no cliffhanger. Contains mature content, steam, and a veteran captain who kept every secret the ice asked of him — until the one he couldn't.
