He's the league's quiet defenseman with a secret that could destroy everything. Morgan Oakson is one shift away from the Cup...and one bruise away from breaking. Behind closed doors, his boyfriend Burke controls every breath, every dollar, every truth Morgan dares not speak. That he's gay, and that the man who claims to love him also promises to ruin him.
When a desperate 911 call goes wrong, the one person who sees through Morgan's lies is the last person he expected, his openly gay coach, Marshall Davies. One business card. One promise. One chance to escape before the next fist lands.
In a world that punishes vulnerability with a slash to the throat, Morgan will have to decide what's worth fighting for. The Cup, his life, or the terrifying possibility of being loved exactly as he is.
Raw, heart-pounding, and unapologetically queer, Playing for Keeps is a gripping hurt/comfort sports romance about surviving the unthinkable, and discovering that the hardest hits don't always happen on the ice.
