A steamy and emotional standalone MM firefighter-hockey player romance …
"I loved Jude and Hudson and their hard-won romance! Watching them fight their love, then fall in love was everything!" - #1 NYT Bestselling Lauren Blakely
It was supposed to be a random hookup.
At a crossroads, my life a hot mess, I swiped right on the guy with the washboard abs and the tree-trunk thighs. His handle was Holt (yeah, really) but as soon as he opened the door, I recognized him: Hudson Grey, the hottest prospect in pro-hockey and apparently, secretly playing for my team. Not mind-blowing enough? He needed someone to punch his V-card, and I was only too happy to volunteer as tribute . . .
Then he ghosted me when it got to be too much.
A year later, my life is back on track and I'm a candidate firefighter at legendary Engine 6. While I might be new to the Chicago Fire Department, I'm a veteran in the game of steamy hookups. My No. 1 rule? No newbies. Except now Hudson has been traded to my hometown team, the Chicago Rebels, and he's out, proud, and ready to date. And he wants my help introducing him to the local gay scene.
My messy past means I'm the worst guy to be mentoring the shy, sexy jock. But neither can I stand by and watch while others touch the man who already feels like mine.
I might have been his first, but I'm about to learn that the new guy has even more to teach me about hunger, hope, and falling hard . . .
Includes: First times, hot firefighters, sexy hockey players, mini-golf shenanigans, meddling friends, and fighting like hell for the love of a lifetime.

Review
Hudson is just embarking on his career as a professional hockey player who is not only trying to deal with serious anxiety but is ready to experience his first time with another man even if he isn't ready to publicly disclose it. He connects with Jude on a dating site, and they spend a steamy evening together, but it will be a year later before they reconnect.
Jude is a man who has made mistakes in his past and is trying to make peace with them both for himself and for those he cares about. He hasn't forgotten about the night they spent together or the fact that Hudson didn't contact him again. When fate brings them together he is in a much better place in his life however he is not sure that he can ever be the man that Hudson deserves?
The chemistry between them was intense but it was the way they put the other first that made their relationship so special. The evolution of both characters was wonder as Jude realizes he is worthy while Hudson became a stronger and more confident version of himself.
