Description
Cheap Shot: An M/M Hockey Romance (Scoring Chances Series Book 5)
For Luke Crawford, life is simple: play hard, protect his teammates, and keep everyone at arm’s length. As the tough enforcer for the Boston Harriers, he’s built a quiet, predictable life centered around hockey, classic cars, and the peace he’s fought to earn. Casual relationships are one thing—but letting someone into his heart has never been part of the plan.
Especially not the outspoken fan who never misses an opportunity to heckle him from behind the penalty box.
Sebastian Breckon recently left behind a successful business in New York to support his sister as she balances single parenthood with caring for her child, who faces ongoing health challenges. While adjusting to life in Boston, Sebastian pours his energy into opening a flower shop, though success hasn’t come as easily as he’d hoped. His favorite escape is attending Harriers games, where teasing Luke Crawford over an old on-ice incident has become something of a tradition.
Neither expects their rivalry to end with an unexpected encounter that changes everything.
As lingering resentment gives way to undeniable attraction, Luke and Sebastian discover there’s far more beneath their first impressions than either imagined. What begins as reluctant chemistry gradually develops into a deeper connection, forcing them to confront fears they’ve spent years avoiding.
Meanwhile, injuries threaten the Harriers’ playoff hopes, and Luke faces growing uncertainty about his future with the team. At the same time, Sebastian’s family responsibilities become increasingly overwhelming, placing new demands on his time and emotional strength.
With careers, family, and personal dreams hanging in the balance, both men must decide whether they’re willing to risk their carefully guarded hearts for the possibility of something lasting.
Blending heartfelt romance, emotional growth, humor, and the excitement of professional hockey, this touching story explores love, loyalty, found family, and the courage it takes to build a future with someone who changes everything.
