BLURB:

Elias Mercer has worked hard building the perfect career: he’s captain of the Montreal Royals, and he just got the call that he will captain Team Canada at the Olympics. At thirty-two, he’s spent years as the face of Canadian hockey while perfecting the art of keeping his personal life private and separate from his professional one.

Then Nolan Hart makes Team Canada. He’s charming, talented, and one of hockey’s brightest young stars. Nolan has been admiring Elias forever, and it feels like a dream come true to play on an Olympic team with him. He’s not expecting to get a crush on his captain when he learns just how genuine he is.

What starts as stolen touches and flirty comments quickly turns to nights together and feelings that are getting too big to ignore. With the gold medal on the line, Elias fights to find a way to balance his career and his relationship with Nolan. But when the Olympics come to an end, they’ll return to opposite sides of the NHL, forcing them to confront whether what they found in Italy can survive real life.

Nolan dreams of a day where they don’t have to hide, but Elias knows all too well how the media can reduce a player to a headline. Winning Olympic gold might be the easy part. Figuring out what happens after could cost them everything.
