He was the toughest man to ever play the game. I found out what it feels like to be under him.
Eli is a 22-year-old grinder — invisible, expendable, fighting for every shift. When retired enforcer Jack Rourke joins the coaching staff, everyone scrambles for his attention. Eli doesn’t bother. He’s never been worth a legend’s time.
But Rourke sees him. Pulls him for private sessions. Puts a hand on the back of his neck and says words Eli has never heard from anyone: “You’re better than they think.”
When the legend who has nothing left to prove crosses the line with the player nobody wanted, both men discover something the ice never gave them.
BENCHED is a dark MM forbidden age gap romance with explicit content, a coach/player dynamic, and a first-time awakening. Book 3 in the Sports Daddy series. Standalone. 18+.
