The Maine Marauders Series
In the high-pressure world of professional hockey, desire doesn’t just complicate the game—it threatens everything these players have built. As careers collide with identity and longing, they’re forced to reckon with who they are, what they want, and how much they’re willing to risk to have it. The books in this emotional, high-heat MM hockey series explore themes of sexual awakening, emotional vulnerability, and the choice to love in a world that isn’t the most inclusive. The stakes are high, the chemistry is undeniable, and the payoff is always worth it.
ON THIN ICE
I’ve spent fifteen years in the NHL hiding who I really am. One more season, and I can retire with my secret intact.
Then Stryker Bell crashes into my life.
He’s got hands of gold, a mouth made for sin, and a body that moves like a promise. He’s young, cocky, and everything I shouldn’t want. But no matter how hard I try to keep my distance, every glance feels like foreplay, and every word from his mouth a dare.
After a brutal loss on the road, I finally break. One raw, desperate moment, and I’ve got my mouth on his, starving for a taste.
Now I’m falling for the rookie who makes me feel more alive than I ever have, while battling trauma I buried so deep I almost believed it was gone.
But if I don’t fight for Bell, I won’t just retire in the closet, I’ll lose the only man who’s ever made me want to step out of it.
PLAY THE GAME
When Sebastian Carruthers and I end up in the same Las Vegas nightclub ten years after we last spoke, every lie I ever told myself about my former best friend shatters in an instant.
One desperate night and two desperate confessions lead to something neither of us planned—a job offer that puts Sebastian in the same city where I play hockey for the Maine Marauders. Suddenly, we have months together instead of days. Stolen moments spent living a life that feels terrifyingly real.
In public, we’re just friends. Old roommates catching up. In private? We’re everything we never got to be before, but no one can ever know.
Because if anyone found out, Sebastian’s enemies would turn our relationship into a political scandal that could cost him everything.
I could survive the fallout. What I couldn’t survive is losing him again.
Unfortunately, secrets like ours don’t stay buried for long. And when he’s outed on the world’s biggest stage, we’ll have to decide if what we’ve built in the shadows is strong enough to survive in the light.
FIRST SHIFT (Coming Autumn 2026)
I know what it costs to be hockey legend Robert Callahan’s son. I’ve been paying it my whole damn life—no softness, no doubt, never letting anyone close enough to actually know me. But Mikey “Ports” Porter ruins me the second we meet at training camp. He’s everything I’m not—loud and boisterous and comfortable in his own skin. Joyful in a way I’ve never been. And when it becomes glaringly obvious he’s one bad skate away from being cut from the team, I tell myself I’m just looking out for the guy.
I tell myself a lot of things to get by.
What starts as extra skate and gym time eventually leads to us living together, where I can no longer hide the depth of my anxiety. When a nightmare-fueled panic attack sees me curled up in his bed at two o’clock in the morning, I know I’m screwed. Because I want Ports—more than I’ve ever wanted anything else in my life … and that includes hockey.
So when he kisses me one bright, moonlit night, I let myself have it. And when he suggests a friends-with-bennies situation, I tell myself that’s enough. And it was … until one unguarded moment in public made it impossible to pretend there was nothing more between us. But am I willing to burn down the life I was handed for the one I actually want? And will Mikey still be standing by my side when the smoke finally clears?
