About this book

When two rival hockey superstars keep stealing secret moments between games, their ten-year hidden romance becomes the ultimate high-stakes affair. Shane is terrified that going public will cost him everything he's worked for, while Ilya is exhausted by the performance of being enemies, desperate for the world to finally see what they mean to each other. As the tension between what they want and what they're willing to risk reaches a breaking point, they're forced to confront the question that's been haunting them both: what good is winning if you have to lose the person you love in the process? This is a beautifully tender exploration of courage, devotion, and the transformative power of choosing someone openly, completely, and without apology.
