UNTIL NOW.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive years ago, Michael Graham betrayed the only person who ever really knew him. Since then, he's made an art of hiding his sexuality from everyone. Including himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo it's a shock when his past strolls right into the Harkness College locker room, sporting a bag of hockey gear and the same slow smile that had always rendered Graham defenseless. For Graham, there is only one possible reaction: total, debilitating panic. With one loose word, the team's new left wing could destroy Graham's life as he knows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Rikker is stuck being the new guy. \u003cem\u003eAgain\u003c\/em\u003e. And it's worse than usual, because the media has latched onto the story of the only \"out\" player in Division One hockey. As the satellite trucks line the sidewalk outside the rink, his new teammates are not amused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd one player in particular looks sick every time he enters the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRikker didn't exactly expect a warm welcome from Graham. But the guy won't even meet his eyes. From the looks of it, his former... best friend \/ boyfriend \/ whatever isn't doing so well. He drinks too much and can't focus during practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two ways this could go. Either the two loneliest guys on the team will self destruct from all the new pressures in their lives. Or they can navigate the pain in their pasts, finding a way back to one another.
