Silas Johannsen has one goal: The Stanley Cup.

Born into a long line of professional hockey players, Silas, nicknamed Joe-Handsome by the press, doesn’t let anything get between him and his goal of taking the championship. Anything that tries will be pounded into the boards. And women? They’re simply a way to blow off steam, to be used for his own pleasure, then tossed aside.

Emily Jacobs has one goal: On-Screen Reporting.

Her degree in journalism isn’t worth more than the paper it’s printed on. Still, finding a spot with the local cable sports network gives her a chance to dip her toe into the waters, and maybe find a place in front of the camera. The one place she feels she truly belongs.

One mistake, one simple slip of a finger, and Silas and Emily come crashing together. She didn’t mean to take the video, he didn’t mean to push her, but somehow, they fight against each other when they both know they should be united.

From enemies to lovers to something else entirely, there is a power play between them, but it may cost one of them – or both – everything they’ve been working toward their entire lives.
