Markus Ellis never thought his dream of going pro would come true—but now, fresh out of college, he’s been recruited by his favorite hockey team. It’s everything he’s ever wanted, except for one snag: star defenseman Fabian Blake. Gorgeous, aloof, and infuriatingly cold, Fabian seems to despise him on sight.

As the pressure of the pro league mounts and chemistry sparks both on and off the ice, Markus and Fabian must decide—will they risk it all for a chance at love, or let fear and scrutiny keep them apart?
