Rhian Savage is working his way up the ranks of professional hockey, with the dream of making it to the NHL getting closer every day. He's doing it alone-no family, no friends-and that's the way he likes it. Then he arrives in New Brunswick, and meets the Moncton Ice Cats. Suddenly, he's got friends-and even something that might be an honest-to-god crush. Garrick LeBlanc is lonely and counting the days until his last season with the Ice Cats is over and he can move to Boston. When his girlfriend suggests he take a lover-as long as that lover is a man and he tells her all about it-Garrick laughs it off. But damned if his friend Rhian doesn't suddenly take on the starring role in his fantasies. Good thing Rhian is way too young-and straight-for what Garrick has in mind. Rhian takes a chance when Garrick's increasingly confusing signals start making sense, and soon discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew. Sex with strangers is simple. Sex with his best friend? Complicated.
