The rules are simple: protect my secret and never-ever-fall for a player. Coaching college hockey was supposed to be a fresh start for the next year anyway. A chance to leave behind the royal spotlight and just be Nils, the guy who loves the game. No one knows I'm a Swedish prince, and I plan to keep it that way. Then I meet Adan. Talented. Fiercely competitive. And somehow, despite every rule and reason not to, I can't stop wanting him. He's not much younger than me, but I'm assigned to work one-on-one with him. I'm technically his coach, and I'm supposed to be the line he doesn't cross. But then we kiss and everything blurs. For Adan, it's a first. His first time with a man. His first time questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. For me, it's a risk I shouldn't take-because if anyone finds out, I could lose more than just my job. Adan thinks I'm afraid of getting caught. But he doesn't know what's really at stake. There's no chapter in my playbook for this. And no easy way out-except risking it all.
