Break Away
Van Barrett
But as Lane glimpses the softer side of the hard-bodied captain, he can't help but wonder: is River truly different from the jocky jerks of his past? Or is Lane setting himself up for more heart-break and humiliation?
With dazzling skills and a jaw-dropping physique, North Dakota winger River Brame is destined to be a star in the NHL. But trouble looms over his promising career, as rumors swirl that the professional hockey world is growing impatient with the college senior. With the help of Lane, River hopes to set the record straight. But is there a deeper reason why straight guy River isn't quite ready to leave college life behind?
Tensions tighten as the two men grow closer, but suspicion begins to spread. River needed Lane to extinguish the whispers of controversy -- not ignite a whole new one. Can River manage fame and a secret life?
