The crease was sacred. Then he walked through it.

Sasha Volkov is the most controlled man in the NHL. The Riptide’s starting goaltender runs his life with the same precision he runs his crease — labeled shelves, preset coffee, thirteen house rules pinned to the fridge, and a closet locked so tight it doesn’t have a door. His system works. His numbers prove it. Nothing gets through.

Then Levi “Bruiser” Thorne moves in.

Traded three times in four years, the loudmouthed, openly bisexual enforcer arrives with two duffel bags, a Bluetooth speaker, and zero concept of boundaries. He drinks Sasha’s milk. He crashes Sasha’s crease. He walks out of the shower in a towel and doesn’t understand why the goaltender can’t breathe.

What starts as a war over personal space becomes something more dangerous: a raw, physical stress-relief arrangement with five rules designed to keep feelings out. No kissing. No one finds out. No feelings. Sasha controls every encounter the way he controls everything — until Levi starts counting his saves, making coffee in his favorite mug, and looking at him like he’s worth more than the system he’s hiding behind.

When a reporter starts digging and Sasha’s twelve-year-old fear threatens to destroy everything, he does the only thing he knows how to do: pushes Levi away with the cruelest lie he’s ever told. But the apartment is too quiet without the chaos. The crease is too empty without the orbit. And the breathing exercises have never worked — because the thing Sasha’s been running from isn’t the world finding out. It’s the terrifying possibility that being known might be the only thing that makes him whole.
