Overview

I don’t want to be the poster boy. Hockey player Kevin Shaw, fresh out of university with a year to prove himself, doesn’t need any distractions—like coming out. But he can't say no when he's asked to train with a gorgeous friend of a friend. Life would be simpler if he could just train hard, get his big break, and squash the inconvenient torch he's carrying for Matty. Called up from the minor league, hockey player Matty O'Brien is secretly terrified he won't hack it. He loves living with his buddies and his dogs, but he's missing a relationship. He plays center forward, but he's always the wingman and never the center of attention. The way Kevin watches him makes him feel like the star player. A spontaneous kiss sends them both scurrying for shelter, deciding whether they have room in their life for more than friendship. Locker room gossip might be annoying for Matty, but it could end Kevin's new career. When it's a choice between work or love, how can they keep both? Slam is the fifth book in the Riley Brothers series, which is a low-angst series filled with brotherly banter and small-town smiles. It can be enjoyed on its own, and promises a happily-ever-after ending.
