As a teenager, Madars Kulda billeted with the Ellis family while he played in major juniors… and he connected with their seriously cute son Connor.

After two years, life took them in separate directions, and they drifted apart. Now Madars plays professional hockey in Switzerland while Connor is a referee in North America.

Then an international competition brings them both to Prague. When they meet again as adults, the innocent crushes of their youth flare back to life as scorching hot chemistry. They can’t get enough of each other, and an ocean isn’t going to keep them apart this time.

But Madars has always dreamed about playing hockey in North America. If he has to choose between dating a referee and living his dream… something will have to give.

Tough Call is a 74,000-word standalone M/M hockey romance.

About L.A. Witt

Though I have four names, I am just one person! I’m not the most interesting person in the world — I live in Pittsburgh with my husband and a couple of cats, and I can usually be found either writing or ruining my voice at a hockey game (Let’s go Pens!). When I’m not doing either of those things, I’m probably painting or running around with my DSLR.

Why the different names? Mostly so readers know what they’re going to get.

L.A. Witt – gay romance and suspense. Most of my books are written under this name.

Ann Gallagher – LGBTQ+ sweet romances, asexual romances, and young adult. Basically, these are romances without on-page sex.

Lauren Gallagher – M/F, sapphic (F/F), and bisexual romances

Lori A. Witt – mainstream science fiction, fantasy, and suspense.

Diana Fyre – Horror
