About Crossed Sticks: An MM Hurt-Comfort Hockey/Lacrosse Romance (Buffalo Warriors Hockey, Book 1) (Unabridged)

A literal collision. A casual agreement. And the sports model I never saw coming. HARPER I wasn’t a keeper. After too many guys treated me like a pit stop, my heart officially went on strike. Getting traded to the Buffalo Warriors was my chance to reset, play hockey, and keep things simple. I was doing great until I ran into a stunning, sharp-tongued lacrosse player outside a bathroom in a bar and forgot how to breathe. Guarded, gorgeous, and entirely unavailable, Luca is everything I shouldn't want. So I offer him the only thing my heart can survive, strictly casual. Two jocks letting off steam. The one problem? I’d know that jawline anywhere. I just hit on the face of a sportswear empire, the man I've spent two years pretending not to drool over. Now "casual" is getting harder to fake by the minute. LUCA I don’t do relationships. I built my walls years ago, and the rules are simple: hook up, walk away, and focus on my lacrosse career. Then Harper knocked the wind out of me. Literally. This goofy hockey player is sweet, funny, frustratingly hot, and somehow talks me into the one arrangement I can agree to. No strings, just benefits. But as our hookups start to feel more like dates, my walls aren’t holding up. Harper is slipping past every one of them, and I have no idea how to stop. We thought we could keep our hearts out of the game. But when real life threatens to pull us apart, we have to decide if we’re brave enough to play for keeps. CROSSED STICKS is a high-heat MM sports romance with a hockey player and a lacrosse player who can't stop chirping, an accidental hookup with a famous face, a friends-with-benefits deal gone sideways, and a found family of nosy teammates. It's the first book in the Buffalo Warriors Hockey series. The banter runs alongside anxiety and depression handled with genuine care, all the way to a breathless HEA.
