Bad Pucking Timing
By Michele Lenard

Colorado Bulldogs, Book 1

The ice is my happy place. My sanctuary. The source of my happiest memories, and the promise of my future. It’s also the reason I’m living a lie.

As a kid you don’t think about the sacrifices you’ll have to make for your dreams. After all, dreams are supposed to be happy, so all you see is the finish line, not what you’ll have to give up to get there.

I surrendered a carefree childhood to hours upon hours of grueling practices. Abandoned life with my family in favor of a boarding school that would hone my skills to perfection. But my biggest sacrifice, the one I couldn’t predict I’d have to make as a little boy, is denying who I am.

To the world I’m the top rookie in this year’s NHL draft. The most promising defender the league has seen in years. For years that’s all I wanted to be, and now that I’m here…

I knew my career would intersect with my personal life at some point, I just didn’t expect it to happen before I played my first pro game.

That’s why he is so dangerous. My lifelong dream is within reach, and now there’s another I want to pursue. If only it weren’t such bad pucking timing.

Excerpt:

“I may be out, but I’m not overly loud about it. I don’t have a reputation as a playboy or anything that would create instant speculation about us if we’re seen together. And as long as there isn’t any joint Ubering no one will really know where we’re sleeping,” Xander rationalizes, which makes my chest constrict since these concessions are strictly for my benefit.

“It’s still denying a big part of yourself. Do you really think I’m worth that?” I bring my eyes to his, bracing for him to shake his head.

“Do you think I’m worth losing your career?” Xander’s gaze doesn’t waver.

I’m tempted to say yes, but since he didn’t answer my question, I don’t answer his. We’ve had enough revelations for one night. Instead, I hold his stare and say, “I think we’ve got a lot of takeout and Netflix in our future. Unless you want to give bowling a try.” I tip my head toward the lanes, and the faint echo of wood crashing against wood, hoping to steer things in a lighter direction.

“Are you asking if I want to roll a ball over the ground or whether I want to stick my pin in your ass?”
