Fleur

Synopsis

Theo Hartley has a secret. Every time the Easton Pathfinders travel to Westgate, he disappears. His teammates know it's a woman—Fleur—but Theo refuses to say a word. What they don't know is that Fleur isn't a woman at all. It's Roman Zaitsev, Theo's longtime rival turned secret lover. They've been hiding their relationship for years, communicating through coded texts and stolen nights in hotel rooms, terrified of what the league and the world would think. Then Theo gets injured in a game—a deep skate cut that nearly costs him his career—and Roman's worry bleeds through the cracks. Soon, the secret starts slipping out. Late-night phone calls. Unmistakable hickeys. A teammate who refuses to drop the subject. When the truth finally comes out, it's not the disaster Theo always feared. His team rallies around him, and Roman is right by his side. A tender, funny, and deeply romantic story about hiding, coming out, and finding home in the most unexpected places.
