Blurb:
I once fell in love with two people.
I was lucky enough they fell in love with me too.
Chance Kellerman was the broken boy whose father convinced him he was worthless, and needed to hide his shameful desires.
We became friends first, then brothers when we played hockey for the same team.
But it was Presley King who brought us even closer. With her we became more. She set us on fire, and we had everything we’d ever wanted.
Then she left us.
Four years later, Chance and I are playing on rival teams when Presley appears on the Jumbotron. Our lives look a lot different than they did in college, and the odds seem stacked against us, but I’m positive we’ve been thrown back together for a reason.
Convincing them of the same won’t be easy, especially when Presley’s job finds out about our unconventional relationship. I’m prepared to fight for us, until one moment on the ice changes everything.
I thought fate brought us together, but maybe we’re only destined to lose it all.

🏒Review🏒
Presley fell in love with Stephen and Chase but when she receives devastating news she leaves as she believes it is best for everyone involved. A few years later their paths will cross again when she attends a hockey game that they are playing in.
When Presley left it caused a rift between Stephen and Chance that they have never been able to recover from. Seeing her again brings back all the feelings and the one thing they know is that they aren’t about to lose her a second time.
One of the best parts of the story is the way they fit together. Their personalities couldn’t be more different but that only made them more perfect for each other as they balanced each other to perfection. They give each other acceptance, peace and the happiness they all deserve.
