Jonah Heyes has always lived under rules he didn't choose-rules that taught him that desire is sinful, that love is forbidden, and that who he truly is must stay buried. On the ice rink, he can control everything: the puck, the speed, the pain. Off it... not so much.
Then there's Luca: openly gay, teasing, and effortlessly confident. He sees the walls Jonah has built and doesn't flinch. He doesn't push... but he doesn't back away either.
Jonah wants to ignore the pull he feels, the ache that Luca awakens, the truth about who he really is. But with every teasing glance, every patient smile, and every quiet moment together, Jonah realizes that being himself-and falling for Luca-might be the hardest thing he's ever done.
