Back in the Game by Kai Jennex, Casey Cross
Jett Fraser plays like he has nothing to lose—and smiles like he’s never been hurt. On the surface, he’s everything a rising NHL star should fast, fearless, and impossible not to love. But behind the charm is a past he keeps buried, and a hollow ache he won’t talk about.

Playing in the NHL was all he ever wanted, until he returned to his hometown and came face-to-face with the one thing he’s always wanted more. The man he wears number 25 for.

Harrison Killinger.

Once a hometown legend, Harrison was destined for hockey greatness—until a devastating car crash shattered his leg and ended his career. Now he's stuck in a life he didn’t choose, watching the game—and the future he lost—play out on screens, with Jett Fraser front and center.

Bitter, guarded, and living in the wreckage of what could have been, Harrison wants nothing to do with the bright-eyed golden boy living the dream he lost.

But Jett refuses to be ignored, and the more Harrison pushes, the harder Jett leans in, determined to prove that what’s between them isn’t resentment—it’s something far more dangerous and real.

As their connection deepens and walls begin to tumble, they must decide if they can learn to trust love—even when it hurts—and if the future they never planned for might be exactly what they both need.
