Cup Check — Stephani Hecht

After years of hard work and sacrifice, Kip Cooper's dream of playing for the NHL is finally within reach. Soon he'll be able to leave behind his farm team to taste fame, fortune and the respect that comes with being number one. So he's not about to allow anyone or anything get in the way. But try telling that to his libido, because despite everything, he can't keep his mind off his teammate, Sergei. Too bad Sergei is young and openly gay… and Kip isn't. When a chance encounter leads to a night of passion, Kip realizes he has to make a choice: Sergei or his dreams.
