Spectrum & Smoke (Rochester Copperheads)

Bys: Rj Scott and V L Locey

One firefighter. One hockey player. One slow-burn relationship neither of them planned for.

Russell "Chip" Cornish plays hockey the way his brain works best-in angles and patterns, with rules he can trust. Off the ice, the world is harder. He sticks to his routines, relies on his assistance dog Sable, and keeps most people at arm's length. When a fire guts his gym, and the firefighter who carries him out turns out to be impossible to forget, Chip finds himself doing something he's never been good at-letting someone in.

Dane Rourke didn't plan on remembering the man he pulled from that fire. He didn't plan on the cupcakes, or the hockey game, or the slow accumulation of evenings that started meaning more than they should. Getting involved with someone he rescued is the kind of thing that ends careers, and Dane knows it. What he doesn't know is how to stop.

Spectrum & Smoke is a steamy, slow-burn MM hockey romance featuring neurodivergent rep, an assistance dog who steals every scene she's in, opposites attract, and a love story that goes all the way to Game Seven.
