"Bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot." --Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry Two polar opposite teammates battle their rivals--and their own issues--in this friends-to-lovers hockey romance. Nate Singer is one of the good guys. As team captain, Nate's whole deal is sticking to the playbook, supporting his team and keeping his own issues buried. Especially since the team is finally winning, due in no small part to his chemistry with one particular hotshot teammate. Zach Reed has a bad boy reputation. And it's cost him. Zach's past exploits landed him on the worst team in the league. But that also gave him the best friend he's ever had. For three years, his friendship with Nate has grown, making them an intimidating duo on the ice--and forming an intense bond off of it as well. When the team hits a skid, Zach and Nate go out with one thing in mind: finding someone for a quick roll in the sheets to get back to their winning ways. Only they end up in each other's arms--and each other's heart. And realize that could be exactly what they've always needed to win it all.
