TWO MINUTES IN THE BOX OR A LIFETIME OUT? Hockey player Aidan Lefèvre’s professional and personal life is on ice. Recovering from an injury and traded to a new team, Aidan is attempting to prove his viability to his coaches, fans, and teammates. Just when he believes he’s succeeded, another accident during the playoffs threatens to unravel all of his progress. Having relocated away from family and friends, Aidan turns to his extroverted team captain, Christophe Fontenot, whose jovial nature lifts everyone’s spirits. But when Aidan discovers his attraction for Christophe changes the meaning of “body checking,” Aidan questions more than his hockey skills. Should he deny what he feels or come out of the “box”?

The collection of stories in this book come from authors around the globe. They explore the different forms of love that all beings find in their hearts. While the stories in this volume tell the tale of romantic love, caring, and loss, irrespective of the shape of the emotion, or even the way that it comes into our lives, love touches the very center of our being.

When a college hockey player needs the help of a sexy older attorney, he gets more than he bargained for when trying to sort out the troubles in his career. Falling in love was never part of either man's plan. Corrigan Ellery wants to play in the NHL, and the way he hopes to get there is through D1 hockey. His plan is solid but begins falling apart the instant he steps onto the college campus. Old traditions and stereotypes lock him out before he's even in. With no options for failure, he must make his plan work, which is why he has no time to complicate his life by getting involved with a sexy lawyer who is ten years his senior and part of the society that is impeding his plans. But boy, he'd enjoy some bedroom game misconduct with the counselor. Logical and meticulous, Sacha Weymouth, who is adept at predicting and controlling outcomes, is a successful defense attorney, slated to one day be a partner at a prestigious firm-that is, until a rogue client causes his demotion. Now, he's a step above a gopher at the university law center assigned to getting a contract signed by a hot-shot hockey player. Instead of a signature, he has his life flipped in a direction he never saw coming... to which he objects. But will his heart overrule his head? Corrigan's and Sacha's lives should never have collided. Now they're left questioning if they're standing in the way of the other's future goals, or if there's room for redirection.
