Play the Game

Maine Marauders Hockey Series, Book 2

By: Rebecca Norinne

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Kirt Graves

When Sebastian Carruthers and I end up in the same Las Vegas nightclub ten years after we last spoke, every lie I ever told myself about my former best friend shatters in an instant.

One desperate night and two desperate confessions lead to something neither of us planned—a campaign that puts Sebastian in the same city where I play professional hockey for the Maine Marauders. Suddenly, we have months together instead of days—stolen moments playing house and living a life that feels terrifyingly real.

In public, we're just friends. Old roommates catching up. In private? We're everything we never got to be before.

But Sebastian's enemies would turn our relationship into a scandal that could cost him everything. I could survive the fallout. What I couldn't survive is losing him again. So I choose the lie, over and over and over again.

Only, in Sebastian's world, secrets this big don't stay buried. And when he's outed on the world's biggest stage, we'll have to decide if what we've built in the shadows is strong enough to survive in the light.
