Captain of My Bad Decisions - An MM Hockey Sports Romance #985210

One catastrophic pass. One viral 3 a.m. video. And now, my entire rookie season belongs to the most disciplined, infuriating man in professional hockey.

Connor "CJ" Jameson is the golden boy of the Lake City Blades rebuild—or he was, until a brutal turnover and a reckless night out put his career on life support. The scouting reports always said the same thing: electric talent, zero discipline, completely uncoachable. They think his brain is broken. They think he's a liability.

And the front office just handed his leash to Eli Kovacs.

Eli is the stone-cold captain of the franchise. A fortress of stoicism, hyper-control, and militant isolation, Eli runs on strict schedules and zero emotional complications. He has spent his entire career building walls to protect his secrets and avoid the mistakes of his past. He didn't want a twenty-two-year-old disaster of a rookie disrupting his pristine life.

But Connor doesn't fit inside the lines Eli draws.

To save the season, Eli constructs an intense, mandatory behavioral mentorship program. Strict curfews. 6 a.m. practices on empty ice. Brutal film sessions in dark rooms. But the closer they get, the more the lines blur. What starts as rigid optimization turns into a dangerous, addictive dynamic of absolute control and profound surrender. Connor’s frantic, chaotic mind finally finds its off-switch under Eli’s heavy gaze—and Eli’s carefully engineered defenses begin to shatter brick by brick.

When an anonymous media blind item threatens to expose the hidden current between them, the fallout could drag them both down. In a sport that pretends they don't exist, safety means detaching. But when you've finally found the one person who makes the noise stop, letting go might be the biggest mistake of all.

Captain of My Bad Decisions is a scorching, high-angst, standalone MM sports romance. It features a fierce grumpy-sunshine dynamic, intense praise hook elements, protective team-captain authority, authentic neurodivergent (ADHD) representation, and a deep emotional hurt-comfort arc. High heat, explicit content, and a guaranteed HEA.
