Interference

Disabled veteran Wyatt Miller is out of options. Six months after his eviction, every day is a struggle just to survive on the streets. Sometimes, the only thing that motivates him to move forward at all is his determination to protect and feed his beloved service dog, Lily. Then a cold snap drives Wyatt to beg a veterinary clinic to board L and puts him on the radar of someone who can't stomach letting the dog or her owner sleep out in the cold. On the surface, hockey star Anthony Austin has it all. The fans and cameras see a man with dazzling stats, a fairy tale home, and a red-hot sports car. He and his longtime boyfriend are the poster boys for out-and-proud male athletes. The limelight doesn't see the cracks, though. His boyfriend has quietly moved out, and nothing Anthony says or does will bring him back. Anthony's play is starting to suffer, and he's too miserable to care. When he sees the man pleading for a warm bed for his dog, Anthony doesn't hesitate to open his home. All he has in mind is keeping a man and his dog off the street. He has no idea Wyatt is about to upend his world, and his attempts at reconciling with his boyfriend. Interference is a 140,000+ word slow burn hockey and military romance. Don't worry, there's no cheating! CW: combat PTSD, dying/death of a parent (cancer), experiences and trauma associated with homelessness.
