About Common Goal

Veteran goaltender Eric Bennett has faced down some of the toughest shooters on the ice, but nothing prepared him for life after hockey. It is time to make some big changes, starting with finally dating men for the first time. Graduate student Kyle Swift moved to New York nursing a broken heart and swore he would find someone his own age to crush on, until he meets Eric. Despite their intense attraction, Kyle has no intention of getting emotionally involved. He will teach Eric a few things, have some mutually consensual fun, then walk away. Eric is happy to learn anything Kyle brings to the table, but Kyle never expected their friends-with-benefits arrangement to leave him wanting more. Happily-ever-after might be staring them in the face, but it will not happen if they are too stubborn to come clean about their feelings.
