Off the Ice

He's hot for teacher NHL star Tristan Holt may be at the top of his game, but he's already thinking one play ahead. Hitting the books in the off-season means he'll have a business degree to fall back on when it's time to hang up his hockey skates. But his straightforward plan is complicated by his undeniable attraction to his sexy sociology professor, Sebastian Cruz. Impressed by Tristan's brain as well as his brawn, Sebastian can't help lusting after the gorgeous jock. With tenure on the line, Sebastian won't break the rules by becoming involved with one of his students-at least, not until the end of term. Once final grades are posted, though, their naughty mutual fantasies can become reality. Tristan's not sure he's up for being the poster boy for openly gay hockey players, but Sebastian's never been the type of man to keep his sexuality-or his relationships-in the closet. For Tristan, being with Sebastian might mean risking more than just his heart. Previously published; refreshed by the authors.
