When God gives you lemons… you find a new God. Ben Carpenter was always destined for greatness. The scouts called him a generational talent, and everyone expected that he would excel in the professional league. So what if Benny had already known that he would have to suppress certain parts of himself forever? It was a sacrifice that he had been more than willing to make in pursuit of a successful professional hockey career. At eighteen, Benjamin Carpenter was drafted first overall to the worst ranked team in the league. Ten years later, and Benny is just another former hockey prodigy who has failed to live up to the hype. He hasn't managed to single-handedly save his mediocre team, and their one appearance in the playoffs during his tenure ended in a highly publicized crash out. Overwhelmed with frustration at the state of his life and the constant pressures of being team captain, Benny finally cracks and gives in to his long-repressed desires. It's a moment of weakness. A terrible decision. Benny swears that he'll never do it again. But staying away proves to be impossible, especially when it turns out that his ill-advised hookup, Z, is much more than he seems. “ A Paranormal Hockey Romance” is not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age. This is an M/M romance with highly explicit scenes taking place between two male characters, one of which is not exactly human.
