He plays to win. She's not here to lose her heart. When Anya Lind, the coach's bright-eyed daughter with a degree in PR and a wardrobe straight out of Stockholm, joins the New Jersey Devils media team, she's determined to prove herself-not just as someone's daughter, but as a woman with grit, goals, and a real career. Enter Jack Hughes: the golden boy of the Devils, beloved by fans, unstoppable on the ice, and the type of charming chaos Anya has sworn to avoid. He's funny, sharp, and always in the spotlight. She's behind the scenes, camera in hand, determined to keep things strictly professional. But locker rooms, team flights, and late-night media scrambles have a funny way of blurring lines. As the season heats up and sparks fly off the ice, Anya and Jack find themselves toeing the line between friendship, flirtation, and something deeper. But with eyes on them from every angle-and a career that can't afford scandal-falling for each other might be the riskiest play of all. A slow-burn, realistic sports romance about ambition, loyalty, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything. "Are you attached?" He asks. I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.
