Wingmen

Two wingers. One bet. The summer that changes everything.

Dustin Bennet used to be the fastest winger in the league. But at twenty-nine, with a busted knee, he has to slow down - and that's terrifying. Dustin wasn't raised to quit. He was raised to win.

Which means twenty-one-year-old Elliot Rodriguez is going to be a problem.

Elliot just finished one of the most impressive breakout seasons on record, with a win that made every sports headline in the country: Rodriguez is the new Bennet.

Dustin isn't taking that lying down. So when they wind up doing their off-season in the same city, Dustin proposes a bet: act as each others' wingmen through the summer. Highest body count when the season starts in September wins.

As the summer deepens, what started as rivalry becomes something else. And somewhere between the 2AM drinks and the 6AM workouts, they realize they're more interested in each other than the bodies they're counting.

But Dustin is hiding something that's getting worse by the week. And Elliot has buried a loss that makes what he's seeing impossible to ignore.

The summer ends at Labor Day. What they're building behind the closed door of Dustin's apartment might not.

Wingmen is a standalone, dual-POV, rivals-to-lovers MM hockey romance featuring a gay/bi awakening, a recovery arc handled with emotional honesty, explicit open-door scenes, and a satisfying HFN.
