Overview

What happens when rivals have to work together to earn their spot on the team back?

SANTA
Charlie Heart is many things:
An annoyingly good hockey player.
The man who the media has pitted me against our whole careers.
My rival.
The only person I truly hate in the world.
And now apparently, my newest teammate.
Also, I don’t care what his nickname is, he’s the opposite of a sweetheart, and I will never let him become a true Pirate.

CHARLIE
Nikolay Brotnik is a confusing man:
Why is his nickname Santa when he’s the most intimidating and feared man in the league?
Does he ever smile in a nice way?
Why does he never talk to the media or the fans?
What have I ever done to him to deserve his icy glares that leave me feeling like a frozen corpse?
Will he hate me even more when he finds out the real reason I was chosen to play for his team?

Or will he finally see that, for the first time ever, I’m on his team?

Brace And Chase is a Contemporary MM Hockey Romance and Book 4 in the All It Takes Series. Themes include a rivalry, "real" hate that turns into actually real love, found family feels, just a smidge of hurt/comfort, and a couple of guys who love hockey more than anything in the world...or so they think.
While it's technically a standalone, it would be best enjoyed by reading the series in order.
This book has no cliffhangers and ends in a HEA. There are a lot of very gay things happening inside, so if that's not for you, then this book isn't either. If it is, then welcome to the mostly low-angst world of the All It Takes Series, I'm thrilled to have you and hope you enjoy this journey.
