Two rival centers. One first-line roster spot. Six weeks alone in a mansion with the stepbrother I want to kill... or kiss. Chris I don’t belong in this world. My new stepdad’s house is a glass-and-stone monument to having more money than God, and his son, Tyler Kensington, is the wealthy, hyper-disciplined “ice prince” of college hockey. I’m a gritty Division II transfer desperate for a pro camp invite so I can afford my mom’s medical bills. Tyler and I are competing for the exact same first-line spot at the Whitmore Summer Showcase. We hate each other. At least, we’re supposed to. But when a broken lock leads to an accidental walk-in, the furious tension between us turns into something else entirely. Tyler My father’s money has always cast a shadow over my talent, and Chris Morales—with his aggressive play and messy, reckless energy—is a constant reminder of everything I lack. When our parents leave for a six-week European honeymoon, we’re left alone in the mansion. To keep from killing each other, we strike a secret arrangement to burn off the tension. We even set ground no marks above the collar, no sleeping over, and absolutely no kissing on the mouth. It was supposed to be a physical outlet. But as our chemistry bleeds onto the ice, turning us into an unstoppable offensive line, the rules begin to crack. And falling for my stepbrother might cost me the one thing I’ve spent my entire life working for. Step Puck is a steamy, high-stakes MM sports romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and stepbrother tropes. Intended for mature readers (18+).
