Head in the Game

by Jeff Adams

Pro hockey defenseman Roger Jacobson’s game is slipping. His contract is up for renewal and his fourteen-year career hangs in the balance. Desperate to find a way out of his professional slump, Roger returns to his hometown to work with his old coach and assist with a summer hockey camp.

When Dylan Barker skates into his life, he’s a romantic distraction that Roger couldn’t have anticipated. The handsome graduate student also happens to be his mentor’s son.

Can the love of a younger man mend Roger’s broken spirit and get his head back in the game?

Head in the Game is a m/m hockey romance novella with a low-angst story featuring a May/December relationship. It previously appeared in the 2017 charity anthology Changing on the Fly: The Second Period.
