Hat Trick (Gale)

He's hot for teacher NHL star Tristan Holt may be at the top of his game, but he's already thinking one play ahead. Hitting the books in the off-season means he'll have a business degree to fall back on when it's time to hang up his hockey skates. But his straightforward plan is complicated by his undeniable attraction to his sexy sociology professor, Sebastian Cruz. Impressed by Tristan's brain as well as his brawn, Sebastian can't help lusting after the gorgeous jock. With tenure on the line, Sebastian won't break the rules by becoming involved with one of his students-at least, not until the end of term. Once final grades are posted, though, their naughty mutual fantasies can become reality. Tristan's not sure he's up for being the poster boy for openly gay hockey players, but Sebastian's never been the type of man to keep his sexuality-or his relationships-in the closet. For Tristan, being with Sebastian might mean risking more than just his heart. Previously published; refreshed by the authors. Hat Trick Book 1: Off the Ice Book 2: Goalie Interference Book 3: Trade Deadline "The dialogue was genuine and interesting. I found the pacing of the novel to be spot on. The LGBTQ theme was handled in a way that felt thoughtful and sincere rather than as a tool. I'd be remiss to leave out the fact that this book is also amazingly sexy! {...} This book was as fun, at time tense, and rewarding as any hockey game!"-The Pink Heart Society "Hockey romance is my jam, and Off the Ice is one of the best out there." -Min and Her Books "...We see a lot of solidarity and platonic love between friends. Which, let's admit, we need so badly in both m/m romance in general and in sports-related novels."-Mariam's Yummy Books "I love everything about this book... Piper Vaughn and Avon Gale are a Dream Team."-Small Queer, Big Opinions "I really loved this collaboration and will be looking out for the rest of the books in the series. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes an opposites attract love story with some steamy sex and a realistic amount of angst."-Sinfully "Off the Ice is a delightful queer sports romance that readers will appreciate. It's a little different from the usual sports romances out there, but that is most definitely a positive. The romance was sweet and the relationship problems realistic, but ultimately this book shows how appearances can be deceiving."-The Book Corps

It's goalie vs. goalie in this lighthearted enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn Ryu Mori has had a stellar season as goalie for the Atlanta Venom. So when he's called into management's office, he's expecting to hear he's the new starting goalie for the team, not that some new guy-an incredibly hot, annoyingly bratty rookie-is here to compete for his spot. Not everyone gets to play in the best league in the world. Emmitt Armstrong knows that, and he's not about to waste the opportunity after grinding his way from the bottom to the top. If the Venom are looking for a meek, mild-mannered pushover, they've got the wrong guy. Ryu doesn't want to admit the other goalie's smart mouth turns him on. Beating Armstrong at practice feels good, sure, but there are other, more fun ways to shut his rival up. In this league, it's winner takes all. But there's more to life than winning, and if Emmitt and Ryu can get past their egos and competitive natures, they might just discover they work better as partners than they ever imagined possible.

Don't miss this lighthearted friends-to-lovers hockey romance from Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn It's a reunion to remember… Daniel "Bellzie" Bellamy should be on top of the world-a Stanley Cup is the perfect topper to his fourteen-year NHL career. But despite the post-win high, something's missing. When the chance to play for his hometown team, the Miami Thunder, comes along, he's open to it. And when he runs into an old friend from his past soon after he makes the move, he wonders if it might be kismet. Micah Kelly never thought he'd see his childhood crush-and first kiss-again. Danny Bellamy moved on to bigger and better things when they were teenagers, and the idea that Micah's relationship with the professional hockey player could be anything more than one-sided Instagram thirst seems too good to be true. Maybe too good to be true is the new reality, though. As the season goes on, Micah teaches Daniel to surf, and Daniel introduces Micah to his lovable pack of rescue dogs and the world of being a hockey boyfriend. Life is good. But when things on the ice don't go as planned, they'll have to decide if their rediscovered romance is built to last.
