Description

Shaw: Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice — brutal and physical — but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes and that gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers — you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. My roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine. Besides, I’ve never gone there with a guy, and he’s never given a single hint he has either. Until one morning when I sign for his delivery — an envelope that contains something I never — in my life — would have guessed. And suddenly, I’m thinking about him in a whole new way.

Burk: I can’t look at Shaw Keenan for too long. When he leans across my truck console with that whip-quick smile, I get this catch in my throat and focus on the road. Or when he tips his goalie mask up onto his head, hair askew and a flush of adrenaline on his cheeks, I skate back toward the blue line. I don’t know why. My head’s confused about a lot of stuff. Always has been. But what I do know is that I’ve never thought about anyone the way I think about him. Especially when he steps through my doorway — in nothing but a pair of thin running shorts and that backwards pink ballcap he always wears — holding a package I ordered on a whim. And he’s looking at me in a way he never has before. It’s game over after that.

Let’s Do This is a steamy, low-angst, friends-to-lovers college hockey m/m romance with double first times, a flirty goalie, and a gruff defenseman willing to risk it all for a chance with his best friend.
