Callum Sterling has spent ten years hiding the most important part of his life: his secret relationship with Kirill Nazarov, his fiercest rival on the ice and his greatest love off it. Then Kirill crashes his car. Callum sees the news on a teammate's phone and his carefully constructed world shatters. He can't breathe, can't think, can't function—he just has to get to the hospital. But he can't drive. So he begs his teammates Duncan and Ty for help, refusing to explain why. When they arrive and the nurse tells Callum he's listed as Kirill's emergency contact, the secret comes crashing down in the worst possible way—with his two best friends watching through a crack in the hospital door. Now Callum has to face the fallout: a boyfriend with a broken arm, two teammates who've seen too much, and the terrifying realization that hiding isn't the same as protecting. A story about fear, love, and what happens when the walls finally come down.
