Fifteen years ago, my best friend found salvation at the Triple Creek Ranch, transforming from an angry foster kid into a hockey legend.

Never let them get you to the second location. Even if that location happens to be a lakeside mansion home to four hot-as-sin men.

The last person I expected to step in and save me when things go awry is my brother's teammate, the intense and sometimes grumpy Dean Harrison.

Unable to stand the growing tension between us, I suggest we "make each other feel good," something, it turns out, we excel at.

Donovan Bane loves playing rugby for the Sydney Smoke. And if that means he has to keep his sexuality a secret, that's a sacrifice he's prepared to make. He doesn't want to be the first pro rugby player in Australia to officially come out while still playing. Which means no dating, no relationships, no sex. Nothing but playing ball. Beckett Stanton is out and proud—and not looking for a guy who isn't. Unfortunately, on the first day of his new job working for the Sydney Smoke, he locks eyes with Donovan Bane and he's a goner. For some reason this man is ticking all his boxes.
