When a cocky hockey player notorious for his bad-boy antics meets the no-nonsense flight attendant assigned to his team's private plane, their mutual disdain becomes dangerously electric. Zander is convinced he can push her buttons and make her quit—but every road trip and stolen moment in the cabin makes it harder to tell if he's chasing the thrill of the chase or actually falling for the one person who refuses to fall for his act. What starts as antagonistic banter and strategic call button abuse transforms into something neither of them saw coming, forcing them both to question whether they've been playing the wrong game all along. If you love enemies-to-lovers with biting chemistry, workplace tension that sizzles, and a hero who's actually way more than his reputation suggests, this one's a total keeper!

Tension-soaked indie rock and sultry R&B for when antagonism ignites into desire. Think moody alternative, breathy vocals, pulsing beats—the soundtrack to stolen glances, sharp words that mask deeper hunger, and chemistry too dangerous to deny.
