Play the Game: A M/M Second Chance Hockey Romance (Maine Marauders Hockey Series Book 2)

Taylor and Sebastian once shared a dorm room, a secret bond, and a future that vanished in the wake of a single, devastating misunderstanding. Years later, they are back in each other’s orbits as teammates on the Maine Marauders, forced to navigate the high-stakes pressure of professional hockey while fighting the ghosts of their past. Taylor is the quintessential playboy of the league, a man who avoids commitment like a penalty box. Sebastian, however, is the only person who ever saw the man beneath the armor, and his presence is a constant, aching reminder of what Taylor threw away. As they share locker rooms and ice time, the walls they built to protect their hearts begin to crumble. This is a story of second chances, long-buried regrets, and the slow, steady burn of a friendship that never quite faded. It explores the messy reality of reconciling who you were with who you have become. With the intensity of the rink serving as a backdrop for their emotional reunion, Taylor and Sebastian must decide if their connection was a youthful mistake or the only real thing they have ever known. Can they bridge the gap between them, or will the game cost them everything a second time?
