About this audiobook
Two seconds on the clock, and Logan Desjardins thought he'd already lost the worst thing he'd ever lose.
He was wrong. He hadn't met him again yet.
Logan is an NHL goalie at the top of his game.
The crease is the one place the world makes sense.
Everything outside it has been falling apart for months.
The night his team punched their ticket to Game Seven, Logan caught his fiancee in a supply closet with his best friend.
He stood in that hallway and watched his whole life come apart in silence.
Then a single text lit up his phone. One letter. One name he hadn't heard in eight months.
Marco Marchetti.
The man whose career Logan ended with one clean, devastating hit years ago.
The man who walks with a limp because of him.
The man who has every reason in the world to hate him.
They were never supposed to be in the same room again. Rivals. History. A wound that never healed.
But one stolen night blurs every line Logan swore he'd never cross — and suddenly the thing he can't stop wanting is the one person he's not allowed to have.
Marco's family already calls him dead to them.
Logan's career can't survive the truth.
And someone is circling them both, waiting for the secret to break.
Then Marco says the thing that guts him worst of all:
"You took everything from me once. Why should I trust you with anything again?"
Now Logan has to decide what he's willing to lose — his reputation, his game, his guarded heart — to finally fight for the man he should have fought for years ago.
Crease is a steamy, emotional forbidden sports romance about a one-night stand, rival roots, second-chance love, an athlete with everything to lose, and a grand gesture worth the risk.
Perfect for readers who love forbidden hockey romance, rivals-to-lovers tension, second-chance MM romance, hurt/comfort slow burn, and a hard-won happily ever after. A standalone romance with an earned happy ending.
