Inside Edge

One rookie left wing with a one-season clock. One Zamboni driver with old figure skates. One rink that keeps secrets before dawn.

Mason Bell has one season to prove he belongs with the Baton Rouge Rougarous. He needs extra ice time, cleaner edges, and no distractions—especially not Zachary Lemoine, the new Zamboni driver, spinning with enough strength and grace to make Mason forget why he's at the rink before sunrise.

Their early-morning practices are supposed to stay simple. A locked rink. A borrowed hour. A hockey player who knows exactly where to put his hands when the lift gets tricky.

Neither man can reach his old dream alone. But helping each other means risking the chance each of them came for.

Can the new dream they're creating together survive once the rink doors open?

Inside Edge is a slow-burn, steamy, and emotional standalone MM hockey romance (Book 0 of the Bayou Boys Series) told in dual first-person point of view. Full of reader-favorite tropes including grumpy sunshine, forced proximity, workplace romance, opposites attract, and a hard-won happily ever after (HEA). Perfect for fans of: the warm community of Schitt's Creek, the found-family sports heart of Ted Lasso, and the classic hockey-meets-figure-skater romance of The Cutting Edge.
