"Bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot." —New York Timesbestselling author Rachel ReidA picture-perfect All-Star meets a bad boy who plays dirty in this enemies-to-lovers hockey romance for fans ofHeated Rivalry.Leo Cohen never expected to make it to the big leagues. His first strike was being a Jewish guy from California. His second was being an undersized defenseman. And his third? Getting a reputation as a “locker room cancer” on every team he’s ever played for. The Edmonton Skyhawks are probably Leo’s last chance, and he’s got to behave. Devon Fraser isn’t just a superstar, he’s the young Canadian face of the sport, a homegrown generational defenseman. From a religious family in a small town, his humility hides his championship ambitions. But underneath his carefully controlled facade, Devon’s kind of a mess—so worried about being picture perfect that he’s almost lost himself behind the mask. When the team claims Leo as a waiver pickup, it’s Devon’s job to keep tabs on the unruly bad boy. Leo doesn’t want an obnoxious babysitter, especially not one who’s the league’s golden child. But as they get to know each other, they discover similarities under the surface. Soon, animosity becomes passion, then friendship, until suddenly, they’re facing something even more dangerous. With everything to lose, it’s unclear what could be more devastatin losing the season, or losing their hearts.
