Brick Walls

<p>Cary Sol Solomon isn't just in a slump—he's a mess. His stats have plummeted. Fans hate him. After he caps off two awful seasons with a catastrophic playoff flop his team is done with him. Worse thanks to his downward spiral the addiction that's nearly cost him his career before is rearing its ugly head.<br><br>As luck would have it though the Seattle Sasquatches are desperate for goalies.

One that means being teammates with the ex whose name still raises Josh's hackles all these years later.<br><br>Now Josh and Sol are stuck on the same team proximity dredging up emotions they've both kept buried for years. Which wouldn't be so bad if the only things coming to the surface were anger and resentment. As they remember all the sparks and feelings that once drew them together neither can decide which is worse—being together or apart.<br><br>And that's before Sol's old demons start showing up.<br><br>But they're not just coming for him this time.<br><br><em>Brick Walls is a 128000 word contemporary gay hockey romance.<br>Content Warning: On-page struggle with cocaine addiction.
