Butcher: An Off the Bench Duet Spin-Off Novel

My life has revolved around hockey for as long as I can remember. Early morning skates, grueling training camps, and endless road trips. There's never been distractions, no dating, and definitely no one finding out the secret I've kept to myself. I always figured I'd wait until I hung up my skates to explore my sexuality outside the rink. But they changed me. After a night out celebrating a championship win, I find myself in a hotel room with Levi Sexton, my straight teammate and son of a small-town pastor, and Kaylee Peters, the stunning bombshell my captain introduced us to. What begins as a no-strings-attached good time turns into a lot more than what we all thought it would. Once the three of us decide to make things official, Levi and I have to pretend we're just friends, but he has a secret of his own. One that could shatter everything if his judgmental family ever found out. When Kaylee faces a sudden health crisis, it shocks us to our cores, and suddenly, our relationship feels like it's skating on thin ice. I don't know if we'll make it through unscathed, but one thing's for sure: I'm not ready to lose either of them. Not now. Not ever. My name is Austin Butcher, and while I'm always ready to drop the gloves on the ice, there's a deeper love stirring within me for Levi and Kaylee—the two people who bring out my softer side. This is our story.
