Offside: A Spicy MM Hockey Romance (The Ice Breakers Series)

The hit that destroyed Viktor Lindqvist’s knee made Cole Kiernan the most hated man in hockey. A year later, when a trade lands Cole in Chicago, Vik is waiting, and he has not forgotten. Cole knows he deserves every cold shoulder, every cheap shot, every ounce of hatred Vik throws his way. What he does not expect is how fast that tension shifts. How quickly anger turns into heat. How impossible it is to ignore the pull between them once they are sharing ice, locker rooms, and far too much space. Vik spent a year dreaming of revenge. He did not plan on acting on something else entirely. What starts as reckless quickly becomes complicated. Because in the NHL, nothing stays secret for long. And when the past comes calling, both men will have to decide what matters more, protecting themselves or fighting for each other.
