Delivering a stone down the ice has never been so complicated. Local curling legend Perry Hasting’s life is all about curling and Evan, and he likes it that way. He still can’t believe Evan followed him out of a party all those years ago, just because Perry told him to. He tries not to think about the day Evan realizes Perry isn’t enough for him. New to the curling world, Evan Baily learned to curl because of Perry’s love of the game. He’ll do pretty much whatever Perry asks of him, and has discovered not only does he love Perry’s game, he’s more than halfway decent at it. But he’s not so oblivious he doesn’t see Perry cracking under the pressure of Evan’s intensity on and off the ice. Who knows how things might have gone, if not for that one fateful tournament, a sucker punch, and a bossy Skip suddenly in need of a new team. Suddenly gold medal dreams they never knew they had hinge on undeniable chemistry and unexpected partnerships. The road to the winter games is a long one, but Alan Channing could give Perry and Evan everything they’ve always wanted, both at the top of the podium and in love. On the Button is part of the Love On The Podium shared queer romance series.
Author
Jaime Samms is a plaid-hearted Canadian who spends the too-long winters writing stories about love between men and the too-short summers digging in the garden. There are dust bunnies in the corners of her house—which she blames on a husky named Kai. There are dishes on the counter—which is clearly because teenagers! There is hot coffee in the pot and the occasional meal to keep her from starving—because her husband is remarkable and patient. A multi-published author whose work has been translated into French, Italian, and German, Jaime delights in the intricate dance of words that leads her through tales of the lost and broken hearted men she writes about to the love stories that find and mend them. And when the muse is being stubborn, she also makes pretty things with yarn and fabric scraps because in her world, no heart is too broken to love, and nothing is too worn or tired it can’t be upcycled into something beautiful. All it takes is determination and the ability to see life a little bit left of center.
