Description
"Bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot." -Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry
Two former hockey pros. One struggling team. And a battle of wills that might just turn two headstrong coaches from rivals into lovers...
Ryan "Sully" Sullivan is a winner. So when the former hockey great accepts a job coaching the bottom rung Boston Beacons, he's ready to win it all-even if his new assistant coach isn't exactly his #1 fan.
Eric Aronson's wins have always come with a well-earned reputation for trouble-and were never quite enough to bring home championships. When the new guy skates in and takes the job he's worked so hard for, he's not about to fall short again.
Tensions rise as, no matter what they do, the Beacons can't pull a W, and a heated argument between Sully and Eric over coaching tactics turns physical-only, not in any way they could have ever imagined.
That kiss changes everything. And suddenly, being able to find the back of the net isn't Sully and Eric's only challenge. It's figuring out who and what they are to each other. And what winning it all might actually mean.
