An NHL captain walks into a gay bar... Skyler Shaw has everything: the captain's C, a killer wrist shot, and the face of a franchise.He's also straight. Completely, undeniably straight. So why can't he stop thinking about the barback he met a month ago? Jackson "Jacks" Mills was weeks from the NFL draft when his knee exploded and took his future with it. Now he's slinging drinks at Tampa's favorite gay sports bar, rebuilding a life he never planned. He's got his found family, his routine, and absolutely no business crushing on a straight hockey player who keeps showing up. Because that's all this is. Friendship. Just two guys who text constantly.Who light up when the other walks in. Who keep finding excuses to stand too close and stare too long. Friendship. Sure, Skyler's never had a friend who makes his heart race. And maybe Jacks has never wanted to kiss a "friend" so badly it keeps him up at night. But it doesn't mean anything. ...Right? Tapped! is a slow-burn MM romance featuring an oblivious hockey bro discovering his "normal friend feelings" aren't so normal, a former athlete learning that needing help isn't weakness, and enough banter to fill a penalty box. Expect found family chaos, a glitter-obsessed bartender, teammates who see everything, and two idiots who are the last to know. Can be read as a standalone but is better in series order. HEA guaranteed.
