The Line That Pushes Back

Visibility isn't the risk anymore. Power is.

The season ended. The truth stayed.
And the system learned how to push back quietly.

Evan Marchand and Lucas Hale didn't just cross the line-they stood in it. Now, in a league that adapts just enough to pretend it's changed, visibility comes with a new cost. Not rumor. Not secrecy. Resistance.

As scrutiny deepens and influence tightens, Lucas discovers that leadership doesn't stop at standing firm. Sometimes it means choosing who gets protected when silence is rewarded and loyalty is tested. Evan learns that staying visible isn't a single act of courage-it's a daily negotiation between softness and strength, love and leverage.

This time, the threat isn't being hidden.
It's being managed.

The Line That Pushes Back is the final book in a slow-burn MM hockey romance trilogy about professional athletes, power dynamics in sports, and a relationship strong enough to be challenged-not by secrecy, but by control. Intimate, emotionally grounded, and unflinching, this is a love story about staying when leaving would be easier.

Perfect for readers who love:

• slow-burn MM romance

• hockey romance with emotional depth

• teammates-to-lovers dynamics
