He only meant to say it once. Two words. “Good boy.” A throwaway piece of coaching feedback that should have landed with the impact of a light breeze — and instead detonated something in his rookie that neither of them can undo.

Silas Vance is a 6’4″, 230-pound hockey enforcer held together with surgical anchors and spite. At thirty-four, his body is a failing machine — bad shoulder, chronic knee, twelve years of damage mapped across every joint. His pristine penthouse is the last thing he controls. His career is ending. And the organization has just ordered him to babysit the hyperactive twenty-one-year-old rookie who was drafted to replace him.

Leo “Sunny” Day is the franchise’s shiny new future — 5’9″, fast as thought, bright as a supernova, and hiding a lifetime of damage behind a smile that never stops. His hockey parents raised him on criticism and correction. Nobody has ever told him he’s enough. The sunshine is a survival mechanism, and the desperation to please is bone-deep.

When Silas accidentally praises Leo during practice — a gruff, offhand “good boy” delivered while correcting his stance — Leo’s entire body short-circuits. And Silas, who reads bodies for a living, notices everything. The flush. The dilated pupils. The full-body softening of a man receiving something he’s been starved of his entire life.

So Silas starts weaponizing it. On the bench. In the locker room. In whispers that no one else can hear, designed to watch Leo’s knees go weak before a shift. What starts as an experiment becomes an addiction — then a dynamic — then the most intense, secret relationship either of them has ever had.

But Leo was drafted to take Silas’s roster spot. Every goal Leo scores brings Silas closer to obsolescence. And when the body finally breaks, Silas has to face the question he’s been avoiding: who is he without hockey? And can he love someone without shielding them from the truth — even when the truth is himself?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this book part of a series?

Good Pucking Boy is the first book in the Milwaukee Icebreakers series. It’s a complete standalone with a guaranteed HEA — Silas transitions to development coaching while Leo leads the franchise as a superstar. Future books will follow their teammates: Ty Kowalski (the steady captain who forgot to want things for himself), Jamie Leclair (the openly gay forward paired with someone closeted and terrified), and the grumpy goalie. Each book can be read independently. No cliffhangers!

How spicy is this book?

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ — This is a 5/5 heat level book with 9 distinct on-page explicit scenes that escalate from desperate hotel-room grinding to face-to-face penetration with eye contact to the reunion sex scene that will ruin your emotional stability for a week. Features praise kink as the central engine, daddy kink that arrives naturally and stays permanently, edging/denial, size kink, semi-public teasing, marking, and emotional intensity that makes the spice hit harder. Each sex scene drives the plot and the character development — the heat IS the story.

Is there a happily ever after?

Absolutely. After surviving a career-ending injury, a devastating two-week separation, and the emotional reckoning of two men confronting their fathers’ damage, Silas and Leo rebuild their relationship on solid ground. Silas accepts a coaching position. Leo wins the Calder Trophy. They stop hiding. The epilogue is set six months later — Silas behind the bench coaching scared rookies, Leo in his sophomore season, eggs every morning, the yellow pillow still on the couch, and three words that used to cost everything now given freely. Private HEA that’s earned through every broken, rebuilt, hard-won page.
