Benefits On Ice

Ashton Montgomery and Keegan Sterling are the untouchable star duo of the Clifton Heights Bulldogs. Lifelong best friends since birth, they know everything about each other. They share almost everything—the rink, the glory, and the team’s top spotlight. Except Keegan has spent years hiding one devastating secret: he is hopelessly in love with his best friend. But when a single, line-crossing night in a shared hotel room shatters their boundaries, Keegan thinks he’s finally gotten through to him. Instead, after weeks of cruel cold shoulders, sudden ghosting, and ruined chemistry on the ice, Ashton finally corners him in the locker room… Trapping Keegan against the cold metal lockers, his hazel eyes hard and his voice devoid of warmth, Ashton sneers:”If you really love me like you say you do, if this game is as important to you as it is to me, then we keep doing this. We keep hooking up and still continue being the best friends we always were.” Desperate to hold onto any piece of Ashton he can get, Keegan accepts the toxic deal—ignoring every warning sign. What starts as off-the-record secrets behind closed doors quickly spiraling into suffocating possessiveness, hidden marks, dark jealousy, and a dangerous web of red flags. How long can Keegan survive playing the dutiful best friend by day and dirty secret by night before an explosive scandal shatters their team and turns the league’s star duo into bitter, Enemies?
