Summary: Obsessive Love / Cat and Mouse / Mind Games / Who's Really the Stalker? / Sapphic Awakening / Morally Grey FMC / Snarky Narrator (obviously) / Tease and Denial / First Person POV Hi. My name is Lisa Salt. I'm a college freshman with exactly one friend, most days. I was chasing my mother's dream of going into medicine, maintaining the empty social life she always envisioned for me. It was a calm, irrelevant existence, and I miss every second of it. Because when Sofia Rossi looked at me, my world fractured. It was just a look. One look from the most untouchable girl on campus, and I lost every boundary I had. In all fairness, most of this is probably my fault—but I barely tried to stalk her. I might have misread some signals when I ended up inside her house without her knowing. It was a matter of not being very experienced in dealing with… what’s it called? Ah, yeah. Other people. I’ve contracted a rather pathological obsession that I'm not entirely sure is legal. And somewhere along the way, I stopped being the only one having it. Have you ever craved someone so much you'd do anything to see her every day? Ever been so intoxicated by her that you'd sacrifice your own sanity? I did. And I don’t intend to stop.

Summary: Rusty Dolan tries to think of himself as lucky. When his folks declared him dead to them for being gay, he'd already turned eighteen, his hockey gear was in his truck, and NHL star player Scott Edison lived a dozen miles down the road. Which meant instead of crashing his life, Rusty had a place to stay and a goal to chase. At the end of summer, his old pickup wheezed over the mountains without dying, and Scott's coaching helped Rusty earn a spot on the Eugene Gryphons team. Now, halfway into the season, he's playing his best developmental-league hockey and checking out the Oregon gay scene, which has a lot more options than small-town Kansas. Sadly, it has more douchebags too, and when one of them latches onto Rusty, he panics. NHLer Roger LaCroix is also a friend, of sorts. Rusty calls Cross for help, and the veteran defenseman shows up big time. Which does not help Rusty's long-time crush on him. Cross knows his worth to the Rafters as a Norris-trophy-winning player, but that's about the only thing he's certain of. Hockey is his whole life. He got dumped by his longtime girlfriend a few years back, and wasn't as sad about it as he expected. He's decided he's probably demisexual, and he and Willow just never reached his comfort zone. But now there's Rusty. After the mess of the past summer, Cross wants to help a deserving young player get his shot. As a man who hates creeps, he has no hesitation posing as Rusty's boyfriend to fend off a predatory ex. Problem is, Cross kind of likes being around Rusty, giving coaching tips and taking care of him. Except who is Cross, at thirty, to have some kind of identity crisis at the expense of a hot, young, up-and-coming player? He and Rusty really should stick to being friends. It's the only safe answer. Changes on Ice is an M/M, age-gap, slow burn, asexual-self-discovery sports romance, related to the first books in the series but with two new main characters. Content warning for grief, stalking.
