Home Ice: Second Pour

When backup goalie Dez Calloway meets Ashton Bennett—a warm-hearted barista with a fearless passion for figure skating—he expects a harmless crush. Instead, Ashton challenges him to step beyond the safety of the crease and risk being known.

As hockey season intensifies and Ashton prepares for sectionals, their private romance must find room in crowded schedules, public expectations, injuries, and dreams that refuse to stay small. With the support of the café community first found in Pumpkin Love Latte and Love, With Extra Foam, Dez and Ashton discover that love isn't about choosing between ambition and belonging.

Sometimes, it's about building a life where both can thrive.

Home Ice: Second Pour is a warm, slow-burn romance about courage, commitment, and choosing each other—one day, one game, and one latte at a time.
