Silas Kincaid is a fortress. Nico Vierra is the battering ram. At thirty-six, Silas "Stone" Kincaid is the veteran captain of the Minnesota Mammoths. He is disciplined, isolated, and lives by a strict code: the team comes first, and his personal life doesn't exist. He is the responsible one. The steady presence. The wall. Nico Vierra is twenty-one years of chaos on skates. He's the team's star rookie-flashy, loud, and addicted to social media. He is everything Silas finds exhausting. But when a pipe bursts in Nico's apartment, Coach Miller makes a decision that threatens to crack Silas's iron-clad control: he orders Nico to move into Silas's secluded lake house. One month. That's the deal. Silas just has to survive thirty days of Nico walking around in low-slung sweatpants, invading his space, and looking at him with eyes that see too much. But the tension simmering between the grumpy captain and the sunshine rookie is hotter than the ice they skate on. When a moment of weakness turns into a night of passion, the rules are shattered. But in the NHL, perception is everything. When a leaked photo exposes their secret to the world, Silas and Nico are forced to choose: save their careers by staying apart, or risk it all to stay together. Puck Tease is a high-heat, age-gap M/M hockey romance featuring a grumpy captain, a sunshine rookie, forced proximity, and a hard-fought Happy Ever After.
