Falling for the boy next door was never part of the plan.
A hockey superstar hiding a secret that could end his career. The coach who's known him his whole life. Can they risk everything on a future neither of them planned?
Hockey superstar Joey Luciano has always been good at being whatever people need him to be. But the cracks in his mask are starting to show, and he's losing touch with who he really is. Worse, he's keeping a secret from everyone. If it gets out, it could end his career.
Coach Liam O'Reilly always had a very clear picture of what his life should look like. Falling in love with the infuriating, passionate, stubborn, and endlessly fascinating boy next door was not part of it. But when Liam's carefully constructed life fell apart one Christmas Eve, Joey was there to pick up the pieces. Now Liam can't stop wanting him.
The passion blazing between them on the ice and behind closed doors could leave them both badly burned. But through the smoke, Liam can see a future brighter than any he'd imagined, if only he's brave enough to reach for it.
Boy Next Door is a story about losing the path and finding yourself. It contains kissing, yelling, spanking, and carb-loaded family interventions.
