Christian Jensen excels at taking hits. As center for the Northlake Blue Foxes hockey team, he's built his reputation on standing in the hole - absorbing punishment that would break lesser players. But off the ice, Christian's careful control conceals deeper bruises, ones no one can see.
Dr. Ethan Price, the team's new physiotherapist, notices what others miss - the way Christian uses physical pain to quiet emotional noise. With steady hands and quiet perception, Ethan sees beyond the stoic athlete to the man carefully holding himself together.
As winter deepens across campus, something undeniable builds between them: in treatment rooms under warm lights, in chance encounters that become anything but chance, in moments of vulnerability where words fail and touch becomes their truest language.
But when professional boundaries and personal fears collide, both men must decide if what's growing between them is worth the risk of being truly seen - and if the comfort of solitude is worth the cost of connection.
In The Hole is a slow-burn, emotionally intimate M/M hockey romance featuring:
- A quiet, intense hockey player who's forgotten how to ask for help
- A steady, observant physiotherapist afraid of giving too much
- Healing hands that see beneath the surface
- The quiet intimacy of being truly known
- Soft, emotional caretaking that becomes so much more
Book 3 in the Northlake Blue Foxes series. Each book features a different couple and can be read as a standalone, but characters appear throughout the series.
