Colton Thomas is the first and only openly queer player in the League and he is far from being considered a role model. Unapologetically brash and strapped with a hair-trigger temper, some days it feels like he's only made it this far off his best friend Olli's golden boy reputation. But when Olli is traded to another team in return for Colton's biggest rival, Kyle Bargelletti, Colton's confidence and reputation take a hit. And his temper? It was as if Kyle's only objective was to see him lose his cool. And if that wasn't bad enough, his coaches insist that Kyle move in with him. If Colton can't keep it together enough to make his coaches happy, more than his first line spot on the team could be put at risk... Kyle Bargelletti has made a career off being able to read his opponents. That's what a good defence does after all, ensures that no one makes it to the net. For some reason, he had always been able to read Colton Thomas the best. All that speed and abrasiveness was a front, and Kyle can see right through it. But Kyle has a front of his own. His queerness has been under wraps for a number of reasons, and on the doorstep of turning 30, he has regrets about how little he's allowed himself to live. But after almost being outed by his last team, Kyle was so close to hiding himself away again. That was, until Colton proposes a deal of sorts. Sex. For Colton, an outlet. For Kyle, an exploration. No feelings, no attachments, just until Kyle manages to get a contract extension and Colton finds his footing again. What's the worst that could happen?

"What am I to you, then?" I asked him. "A damn project?" "Nothing like that," Mickey replied. "There's a saying I wholeheartedly believe. That art is never completed, Ryk, it's only abandoned." I felt the air between us shift again. It had a tendency to do that when we were at odds. When I struggled to understand this thing between us. "And you should know something bout me by now. That I'm a bit of a completionist." Mickey drew in closer, bringing our faces the closest they had probably ever been to each other. "I've never abandoned a damn fucking thing in my life." - Nineteen-year-old Ryker had finally done it for better or worse. Broken away from his abusive father. Taking a job at Wilmoria's Café, he hoped for a quiet new beginning- somewhere he could rebuild his life, focus on trying to graduate high school, and rediscover a sense of safety. But his plan for solitude is quickly upended when he meets Mickey- Micah Jackson- a warm yet complex 22-year-old baker and recent college grad who's been at the café for years. As Ryker learns the rhythms of his new life-the smell of vanilla treats, fresh bread, and coffee beans; the hum of the espresso machine and the soft laughter of coworkers... Mickey becomes his unexpected constant. What begins as mutual hatred between them both slowly deepens into something Ryker never thought he could have: trust, affection, and love. But healing isn't simple. Between confronting his past, his mistakes, and learning to open his heart, Ryker must decide whether he can truly believe in a future where he's safe, seen, and genuinely loved for who he is, all while he discovers who exactly he is. Perhaps who he wants to be. - "Broken Hearts Café" is a tender story about rebuilding after trauma, finding family in unexpected places- a café, a biker club- as well as the courage it takes to love again after getting it so utterly wrong the first time.
