“Tough Guy” is the third novel in the “Game Changers” series and was released in 2020. They’ve got nothing in common, so why does Ryan feel the most like himself whenever he is with Fabian?

Ryan Price might be an enforcer, however off the ice he struggles with his anxiety. Recently he got traded to the Toronto Guardians, and is determined to make a fresh start in the city’s dynamic LGBTQ Village. The last thing he had expected was to stumble upon a blast from his past in his new neighborhood in the fabulous form of Fabian Salah.

Fabian (an aspiring musician) absolutely loathes hockey. However that does not stop him from being attracted to a certain ginger bearded and burly defenseman. He has not forgotten the kiss that they almost shared back in high school, and it is obvious that the chemistry between them both has just intensified.

Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan’s guide to the gay scene in Toronto. Between art exhibits and dance clubs, and the most amazing sex, Ryan is beginning to feel something that he has not experienced in such a long time. Joy. However playing the role of the heavy on the ice has taken its toll on his mind and body, and a future with Fabian might mean hanging up his skates for good.

He is completely laid back in such a way that Landon just cannot relate to and is endlessly charming. They could not have any less in common, however Landon needs a place to live that is not some hotel room and Casey recently bought this massive house, and he hates being all alone.

As roommates, Casey refuses to just get defeated by Landon’s simple one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey. Like his sparkling green-blue eyes and his easy smile. Spending the holidays together just intensifies their bromance turned romance. However while the new year approaches, the countdown to Landon’s time coming to its end in Calgary has arrived.
