One secret. One photo. No going back.
NHL star Nicolás Briggs has spent over a decade hiding his sexuality to protect his career. In one bold move, he walks into a gay club looking for freedom—not love. Then he meets Evan Beckett.
Evan doesn’t date famous men. Public scrutiny destroyed his last relationship, and he won’t risk his heart again. But Nico feels different—until Evan discovers he’s been hiding who he really is.
When a photo of a private kiss goes viral, it outs Nico overnight and thrusts Evan into a spotlight he never wanted. Their quiet relationship explodes into a media frenzy.
Now they’re facing cameras, past wounds, career pressure, and one question: can love survive when the world is watching?
Cross Ice is an emotionally charged MM hockey romance featuring a hidden identity, a forced outing, opposites attract, and a hard-earned HEA
