Two bitter rivals. One PR nightmare. And a forced arrangement that’s about to break all the rules.

Kyler Thorne is a magnet for the penalty box. After his third trade in four years, the notoriously reckless enforcer just wants to keep his head down, hit things on the ice, and avoid getting attached. The Boston Brawlers are just another stop on the road, and he knows better than to get comfortable. The only problem? His new teammate is the one man who gets under his skin like no one else.

Roman Gallagher is everything Kyler isn’t. Stoic, disciplined, and practically made of stone. Roman has built impenetrable walls to keep the world out and protect his career. The last thing he needs is a chaotic, loud-mouthed instigator blowing up his locker room.

When their explosive on-ice tension threatens to derail the season, management forces them into a manufactured PR "bromance" to clean up the team's image. The rules are simple: smile for the cameras, pretend to be friends, and don't kill each other.

But the forced proximity strips away their defenses. Behind closed doors, the fiery hatred burns into an undeniable, intense chemistry. Kyler’s chaotic energy chips away at Roman’s iron-clad walls, while Roman’s grounding presence gives Kyler something he’s never had: a reason to stay.

When the very foundation of their arrangement is threatened by trade rumors and ghosts from the past, they’ll have to decide if what they have is just a penalty, or the ultimate game-winner.

Penalty Box Confessions is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers MM hockey romance featuring forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and a guaranteed HEA.
