A college hockey romance shaped by hidden pain

Set within college hockey, *Hidden Scars* brings two roommates into uneasy proximity: one is openly critical, while the other becomes increasingly curious about the darkness beneath his confident image. When Charles returns from a weekend away traumatized and haunted by nightmares, the narrator’s attention shifts from hockey to the struggle he is facing. The description frames their relationship around care, secrecy, and the limits of trying to rescue someone who must ultimately confront his own pain. Its LGBTQ+ romance premise is closely intertwined with trauma and self-destruction, giving the romantic conflict a serious personal dimension.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in LGBTQ+ gay romance.
  • Readers drawn to romance involving college hockey and roommates.
  • Readers seeking a relationship story that addresses trauma, nightmares, and personal struggle.

Book overview

Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met.

I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth.

He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up. Publicly.

And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him.

Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him.

Something dark.

A secret I want to uncover.

When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore.

He needs someone and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Soon my life no longer revolves around hockey, but the nightmares he's living with.

Desperately I want to save him but I can't, only he can save himself.

Can I watch him destroy himself as he tries to hold tight to the things that matter or will I be the final hit in the destruction of his life?
