Through the Glass: An MM Hockey Romance

Through the Glass: An MM Hockey Romance

They say hockey is about violence and figure skating is about art. But at 5:00 AM, the ice doesn't know the difference. Connor Mercer has built a life and career on invisibility. As a NHL defenseman for the New Jersey Sentinels, his job is to block shots and keep his secrets locked in the dark. But a career-threatening injury is cracking his armor, and the compensation patterns are grinding his hip into dust. He needs a miracle, and he finds one in the last place he expects: the figure skater he’s been watching from the shadows. Daniel Park is a technical genius with a problem: he skates like a spreadsheet. He has the medals, but he lacks the fire. When he catches Connor struggling on the ice, he proposes a dangerous trade. He’ll rebuild Connor’s skating mechanics if Connor teaches him how to command the ice. What starts as a secret arrangement in the cold quiet of early morning quickly spirals into something neither man can control. Connor is the grounding force Daniel has always needed; Daniel is the spark Connor has spent a decade suppressing. But Connor’s fear of exposure runs deep, rooted in a past that taught him silence is safety. When the outside world threatens to shatter their private bubble, Connor has to decide: will he keep hiding behind the glass, or will he finally break through to claim the man he loves?
