BLURB:
Oliver Jacoby is the star left winger of the Berkeley Shore University hockey team. He’s famously known for his skill on the ice, his easygoing charm, and a protective streak that runs bone-deep, especially when it comes to the people he cares about.
Ryan Abrams is a quieter presence on campus, easy to spot in his vintage 1950s style—from the clothes he wears to the music drifting from his dorm room. But beneath the old-soul exterior, his true escape has always been the stars above him.
A hockey star and a stargazer might seem like an unlikely pair, but Oliver and Ryan are anything but strangers. Years ago, they were childhood neighbors, inseparable in the way only kids can be. Until a military reassignment tore Ryan away from his best friend and left their relationship suspended in silence.
Now, reunited by chance at Berkeley Shore University, the distance between them feels both enormous and paper-thin. Ryan is unsure of whether their bond can survive the weight of lost years, and Oliver is determined to not let Ryan slip away a second time.
As old memories resurface and new ones take shape, what begins as a hesitant reconnection quickly becomes something deeper and undeniable. And this time, no amount of meddling by the Ice Queen is going to matter. Because Oliver and Ryan’s love story has already been written in the stars.
