I'm usually pretty good at hiding my feelings behind a good joke, but hiding the feelings I've grown to have for my best friend might be impossible.
Archer: Hockey players don't talk about their emotions. That's the stereotype, and the rule I've made myself live by. Keep your deep thoughts to yourself or whatever. But then I started playing college hockey with Theo, and he's someone I can really talk to. Although, there's one thing I can't talk to him about, and that's the lingering feelings I have for him.
Theo: My dad was always big into hockey, therefore, he made me start playing young. It was always something I did to make him happy, but I never found joy in it for myself. When I went away to college, I met Archer, and he made me enjoy the sport again. Or maybe it's not the sport I enjoy, it's just him being around.
Archer and Theo may share a profound bond that started off with friendship, but once they get a taste, the temptation is all too strong to ruin that. The question is, for better or worse?

Bad Habit
Grady Taylor was an upcoming hockey legend, number one draft pick, and had the world at his fingertips. His parents are well known and wealthy, and there was no doubt his life was set up for success. That was before it all went crumbling down for one night of fun, a night that got him sent to a rehab center for six months. To top it all off, his roommate was the biggest ass he'd ever met. Cocky, arrogant, and stupidly sexy. Though, Grady would never admit that part out loud. He hated him. That was until he made him discover things about himself that he never knew existed, completely derailing his life even more than it already was. Rowan Young is charismatic, funny, and hard to resist. People would say that he has no direction. That before the time he reached his thirties, he was going to end up in prison. That didn't change when he started his own drug selling business and got caught, landing himself in rehab for six months where he found himself rooming with the most stuck up and annoying roommate ever. He was a clean freak and blushed when he was embarrassed and wouldn't stop nagging him about his messiness. Rowan was kind of obsessed with him. A story about self discovery and acceptance. The characters come together to form a beautifully heartbreaking love story where they not only fall in love with each other, but learn to love themselves too.
Forest

They fall helplessly in love, creating a bump in the plan Forest's parents laid out for his life before he was even born. Follows the struggles of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to and coming to terms with it while facing obstacles like family and friendship complications in which the characters have to overcome.Complete
