Crossing The Blue Line

Eighteen-year-old Swedish hockey phenom Gabriel Lindström arrives in America ready to take the NHL by storm. What he doesn't expect is to develop feelings for his team captain and temporary landlord, Brad Mitchell.

Brad, a respected 32-year-old veteran with a carefully constructed image, offers to host the rookie as part of team tradition. But as they settle into a comfortable routine at Brad's lakeside home, their chemistry extends far beyond the ice. When Gabriel is injured blocking a shot, Brad's extraordinary care raises eyebrows among teammates, threatening to expose their growing relationship.

For Gabriel, coming from progressive Sweden where his bisexuality was accepted without question, hiding who he is feels like a betrayal of himself. But Brad, haunted by years in American hockey culture, sees only danger in revealing their truth. As pressure mounts from all sides, they face their toughest opponent yet—a world that might not be ready for their love.

Will they choose the safety of secrecy or fight for a future together in the spotlight? In hockey and in love, sometimes the greatest victories come from the biggest risks.
