He doesn't expect to fall for the one person he'd rather keep hating. 🏒🏒🏒 Morgan Raleigh could have been a legendary golden boy goalie, but returning from an extended career hiatus leaves him so desperate to prove himself in hockey again that he agrees to play for his former rivals, where Scott Brooks, the infuriatingly cocky player who injured him, is his captain. After a messy breakup, Scott has no choice but to share a room with Morgan, who he blames for the bad press that ruined his relationship. As petty as it may be, the only way he can possibly spend a year pretending to play nice with his rival is through passionate arguments, competitions behind the scenes... and casual hookups where Morgan pretends his goal is the pain relief, and Scott tells himself he only needs the release. But the longer they spend as teammates, the more Morgan's fun side opens up Scott's emotional walls, and the more Morgan questions his sexuality. With the past heavy between them, Morgan must reconcile his desire to return to his old team with his confusing feelings for the person who destroyed him the most.
