When Olympic hopeful Gigi Graham needs to sharpen her game to make the national team, the last person she wants help from is Luke Ryder—the infuriatingly sexy, grumpy new co-captain of the men's hockey team who also happens to be her father's ideal coaching candidate. But Luke has his own reasons for wanting this deal: help Gigi, earn some goodwill with her legendary dad, and maybe salvage his reputation after a disastrous first impression. What should be a straightforward training arrangement quickly becomes complicated when the chemistry between them turns undeniable, forcing them both to navigate a dangerous attraction while chasing their biggest dreams. This is a deliciously tense hockey romance that perfectly balances competitive ambition, family legacy, and the electric tension of two people determined not to fall for each other—even as they absolutely might.
