The Captain's Letter
The Beaumont Fortress, Book 4
Asher Pryce & Ellis Marchetti
Nine years ago, Asher Pryce loved the Halstead Sentinels' captain in a parking lot in May and watched him walk away. Ellis Marchetti retired in 2024 and took a broadcasting job near the only city he ever loved. Now Asher is the Beaumont Crown captain and Ellis is the man holding a microphone after his games — and Ellis's openly gay nephew is a 21-year-old AHL prospect in the system, asking the questions Ellis spent fifteen years not answering.

Each book is a complete standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after. Read them in any order, but you'll see familiar faces throughout.
The Cup Is a Promise
Toren Lark has been the league's openly out poster child since juniors. Emmett Halloran has been a Halstead Sentinels' second-line husband and father for five years — until the season the truth catches up with him in the same playoff series that will decide his career. The HEA is not the Cup. The HEA is the choice to live truthfully, even when the cost is everything you built.
Offside at Midnight
Cade Bellinger has been the Beaumont Crown's openly out winger for seven years and is starting to forget the difference between being free and being on display. Niko Rasmus has been the Halstead Sentinels' silent veteran for fifteen and is starting to forget the difference between privacy and absence. The summer they meet by accident in a small coastal town in Maine, both men remember.
