Series: RAILERS HOCKEY, Book 11
Genres: Hockey, Romance
Tag: 2022 - Co-authored

Playing for their country in the Winter Olympics is the highest of all honors, but when family members are pitted as rivals and a dark specter from the past turns up in Beijing, tensions run high, and abruptly, it’s not all about the hockey.

Jared is torn—assistant coach for Team Canada, with Ryker on the team; he bleeds red and white and wears the maple leaf with pride. Only Ten is now a rival, and not only that, but the country they’re all playing in frowns on his marriage and keeps him and Ten apart. Jared wants to win gold for his country and his son, but he’d be so proud if Ten were to win. He’s confused and concerned, but when a face from their past turns up to play, he’s furious.

Being picked for Team USA is one of the things Tennant dreamed of when he was a little boy. All of his other aspirations have come true through hard work, determination, and pure talent. Now he’s about to represent his country in front of the world, and the pressure is starting to build. He’s also just come face-to-face with a hated rival from a dark period in his past. Add in the burden of squaring off against his husband and stepson, and Ten is feeling the pressure to be perfect.

Family becomes rivals—but love always wins.

Excerpts

Excerpt 1

I sent a final heart to Ten, just as my roommate, fellow Canadian and goalie coach, Oliver Tremblay, stepped into the room and collapsed boneless on the bed—the snacks he’d gone out to find tumbling from his hands. Oli had just slipped out to the machine in the corridor, which was full of healthy stuff that made me wince. I wasn’t sure I was going to manage my time here without chocolate of some sort. Only slipping out had taken him nearly an hour, but I’d just imagined him caught up with something important and ignored my rumbling belly.

“No more,” he muttered.

I liked Oli, although I didn’t know him too well, given he was coaching for Vegas, who we only met a couple of times a year. Still, he was friends with our goalie coach, knew Stan, and had been to a couple of Railers’ events. Married to Elsa, with three kids, he was a family man who had already asked to see photos of Lottie, then showed me his three.

“No more what?” I asked from my bed, with my tablet on my knees. “Did you get caught by someone?”

“Not someone.

All

the people,” he groaned and covered his eyes. “Don’t go out there,” he added, “it’s not safe.” He tossed me a granola bar, which I caught deftly and placed next to me. “Worst of all, no chocolate anywhere.” A ton of staff and skaters had descended over the course of today, and I knew that we had the entire Team Canada hockey team here, because I’d made a point of ticking everyone off the list. It was something I did to take my mind off the fact I was missing Lottie and Ten to the point where I was close to slinking over to the Team USA building just to reassure myself Ten was there and okay.

Excerpt 2

I woke the following morning feeling as I’d been dragged through a sewer by my feet, face down in the muck, forehead bouncing off the slimy troughs filled with sludge.

Which was a typical morning after a massive headache. Add in jet lag and yeah, I was shit-faced and not in that fun been-partying-all-night-with-my-bros kind of way.

The room was dark, thank all the gods. The only sound was of someone nearby humming and strumming on an acoustic guitar. Sitting up was done in increments. There was a slight wave of nausea and a little dizziness, also typical of a postdrome. The plucking and soft singing stopped at my groan. Inhaling deeply to counter the stomach lurch, I breathed in lavender. It was… nice.

“Morning,” Colorado whispered from a vague point by the windows. In the corner. Maybe on the floor? Fuck. This was so not what I needed today. The aftereffects of a crashing headache usually lingered for a full day after the migraine itself, and left me feeling exhausted and mentally fogged. Just the place I wanted my head to be on the day of my arrival. Go me. Ugh. “I had some ginger tea sent up. My grandmother swears by it for any kind of headaches. Also, she said to rub some lavender into your pulse points so I kind of did that when you were sleeping. Nothing beyond your wrists though, my dude.”

“Oh, uhm…” I lifted my left wrist to my nose. Yep, the smell of lavender wafted from my skin. “Thanks.”

“Totally my pleasure.”

Moving like a geriatric patient, I eased my bare feet to the floor. Had I undressed before crawling under the covers yesterday?

“In case you’re wondering, I took off your shoes and socks, great sneakers by the way, and tucked you in.”

I blinked into the darkness, the memories of yesterday slowing arriving. “I threw up on you. Oh shit, Colorado, I am so sorry.”
