As the Detroit Forge's Director of Social Media, Alex Makin thrives behind the camera - scheduling hype posts, dodging PR fires and keeping her private life safely off the ice. Then the Forge make a blockbuster signing. Sebastian Kovac - the league's favorite highlight reel and her least-favorite former Ironwood - arrives in Detroit with a smirk, a reputation, and an uncanny ability to walk straight into her orbit. He's all effortless charm, game-day intensity and maddeningly perfect photo angles... and suddenly he's the centerpiece of her season-long media assignment. But the camera doesn't lie. Chemistry is impossible to crop out and somewhere between the late nights, road-game banter and one too many accidental run-ins, Alex starts to realize keeping him offside might be harder than she planned.
