Tobias Hájek is the Atlanta Firebirds' golden boy, nine months into his first season and still learning the city. He's a beloved hockey player, loyal brother, and sweet to his core. He's also been quietly, hopelessly in love with a man since he was sixteen. Specifically, his brother's best friend.

One promise. One almost-kiss three years ago he can't stop thinking about.

Now Damián Mareš arrives in Atlanta with the Czechia national team, and the World Cup is suddenly the least complicated thing in Tobi's life.

Cool where Tobi runs warm. Controlled where Tobi spills over. A soccer star as lost in Atlanta as Tobi still is. For the first time, Damián isn't looking through him, and Tobi is running out of reasons to look away.

His brother said off limits. He meant it.

Some promises ask you to betray yourself to keep them.

A steamy MM romance about a sweet man, a guarded one, and the city that unmoors them both.

Tropes: brother's best friend • golden retriever/black cat • slow-burn pining • bi-awakening • protector • cross-sport romance • fish out of water

Heat Level: Steamy | POV: Dual POV, present tense | Series: Atlanta Firebirds / Open Play Crossover
