Eden McKoy has spent the last three years fetching coffees, fielding tantrums, and fading into the background at SportsWest TV. Her title might read Executive Assistant, but Eden knows she's one photocopy away from a mental breakdown. Still, she'd do it all again if it meant landing her dream job in the film industry. So when she's unexpectedly assigned to direct a high-profile documentary, it feels like the break she's been waiting for. The catch? It stars Noah Thatcher - the NHL's golden boy turned cautionary tale. Noah is every publicist's worst nightmare: foul-mouthed, infuriatingly private, and allergic to cameras. Off the ice, he's as cold and brutal as his slapshot. And Eden? She's the newest thorn in his very expensive side. Thrown into close quarters and forced to work together, Eden and Noah clash from day one. She wants a story. He wants her gone. But as the cameras roll and tempers flare, Eden starts to see cracks in Noah's armor - and he sees someone who might actually understand the weight he's carrying. What starts as a professional disaster spirals into something far more dangerous: tension, longing, and a spark neither of them expected. But when secrets resurface and the past threatens everything, Eden will have to decide what matters more - the truth behind the lens, or the man who makes her want to drop it all. Enemies. Teammates. Maybe something more. In the world of sports and scandal, one rule always applies: play to win - or lose it all. 💌 Perfect for fans of Icebreaker and the Off-Campus series-this slow-burn hockey romance is equal parts spicy, snarky, and heart-wrecking.💌
