Second Shot

What's worse than your childhood bully recognizing you?Him not recognizing you at all.

When Ryan Caldwell, the team's new left winger, walks back into Gabe's life—all smiles and swagger—Gabe Jacobs is ready to explode. This is the guy who made middle school hell. And he doesn't even remember Gabe. Doesn't flinch. Doesn't apologize. Just flashes that easy charm like the past never happened.

At first, Gabe is furious. Hell-bent on making Ryan pay. But then something worse happens. He gets to know him.

Ryan is insecure beneath the bravado. Desperate to be liked. Haunted by his own brutal childhood. And worst of all? Gabe wants him. Wants his mouth. His body. His attention.

Now Gabe's trapped in a twisted mess of his own making. Because Ryan wants him too. Ryan craves his approval. Ryan trusts him now.

Gabe started out angry that Ryan didn't remember him. Now he lives in fear that he will.Contains mature themes.
