The Last Line

JONAH

Jonah Reyes has one rule: never owe anyone.

He drives the Zamboni at 5 a.m., sends half his paycheck home, and runs a free Saturday skate for the kids in town. The few good things in his life are the ones he built himself.

Then Jonah makes one anonymous post.

By the end of the week, the head coach is gone, Port Alder University is under investigation, and the hockey team is demanding to know who betrayed them.

Jonah knows exactly who is responsible.

Himself.

CAL

Cal Brandt is hockey royalty: team captain, son of a legend, and the man everyone trusts to keep his promises.

But Cal is hiding a torn shoulder from the people who depend on him. When the locker room turns on the unknown whistleblower who brought down their coach, Cal vows to find the traitor.

He doesn't expect to find Jonah.

The backup-turned-starting goalie is the last person Cal should trust. Jonah is quiet, stubborn, impossible to read—and somehow the only person who will skate with him at dawn, tape his shoulder, and ask no questions.

Every morning brings them closer.

Every clue brings Cal closer to the truth.

And the man he's falling for may be the very man he's sworn to expose.

TOGETHER

For Jonah, falling for the team captain was never part of the plan.

Neither was watching Cal put his career, his reputation, and his heart on the line for a truth Jonah can't afford to tell him.

Because once Cal discovers who wrote the anonymous post, there will be no taking it back.

Jonah could lose the man he's finally learned to want.

Cal could lose the person he never meant to love.

And the truth might be the one thing that breaks them both.
