Against the Odds

Callum
I’ve wanted to play pro hockey since I was nine years old. That’s when my grandfather looked at an angry, hurting, orphaned kid and said, “A sport might be a good way for you to work some of that out.” Sadly, in the Under-11s division, punching people wasn’t part of the game, which is how I ended up a goalie, to keep me out of temptation’s way. Well, plus I’m good at it.
Now I’m in the PHL, and have the second-best record (and yes, the most penalties) of any goalie in the league. I’m aiming for the NAPH and when I make it, I’m going to pay off my grandfather’s mortgage and get the family store back out of debt. I’m not going to let anything derail me, not my high-school crush moving in next door, nor my least-favorite uncle showing up. But sometimes determination isn’t enough to keep life going my way.

Zeke
I joined the Vancouver police department to honor my military dad after he passed and do good in the world. But a long stint undercover left its marks, and now suddenly I’m the guardian for my twelve-year-old half-brother. I’m rethinking everything about my life, and scrambling to fit a bereaved pre-teen into my shift work. Only help from my elderly neighbor, Mr. Fitzpatrick, and his hockey player grandson, Callum, lets me keep my head above water.
My attraction to Callum is a whole other problem. I’m trying hard not to let my appreciation for red hair and strong muscles and blunt honesty get out of control. Because Callum’s gay but he’s definitely not out and not looking for a relationship. We’re just convenient. I’m not going to be the one to mess up his single-minded drive toward the top professional league. Until the day he comes to me, asking for help, and everything changes.
