Delay of Game- Ari Baran

Two polar opposite teammates battle their rivals—and their own issues—in this friends-to-lovers MM hockey romance for fans of Rachel Reid. Nate Singer is one of the good guys. As team captain, Nate’s sticks to the playbook, supporting his team and keeping his own issues buried. Especially since the team is finally winning, due in no small part to his chemistry with one particular hotshot teammate. Zach Reed has a bad boy reputation. And it has cost him. Zach’s past exploits landed him on the worst team in the league. But that also gave him the best friend he’s ever had. For three years, his friendship with Nate has grown, making them an intimidating duo on the ice—with an intense bond off it. When a night out ends with Zach and Nate in each other’s arms—and each other’s hearts—they realize that could be exactly what they’ve always needed to win it all.
