Spectrum & Smoke
About
One man is made of patterns, the other of passion, and nothing stays in place when their worlds collide.
Russell “Chip” Cornish has always been the quirky heart of the Rochester Copperheads—loyal, literal, and unshakably focused. He keeps to his routines off the ice, avoids loud parties, and never quite understands why emotions must be so messy. But when a fire breaks out near the team’s training facility, Chip finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the firefighter who pulls him from the smoke.
Reckless, charming, and emotionally intense, Dane Rourke is everything Chip isn’t—and everything he doesn’t think he wants. But after a second encounter sparks more than just confusion, Chip breaks patterns and questions boundaries he’s never dared cross before.
As the season heats up and chemistry flares between two men from completely different worlds, they’ll have to navigate trust, trauma, and the space between logic and longing. Because some fires burn fast and bright—but others smolder slow and deep, lighting the way to something real.
Spectrum & Smoke is a heartfelt, steamy MM hockey romance featuring opposites attract, neurodivergent rep, slow-burn heat, and a love story that doesn’t play by the rules..
