He was supposed to fix my game. Instead, he changed my life. Starting goalie Ashton Kincaid has never backed down from a fight. With the NHL draft looming, he's determined to prove he belongs between the pipes—even if it means ignoring the anger, injuries, and pressure threatening to consume him. His new goalie coach is another problem entirely. Retired NHL legend Thomas Thayer is older, patient, infuriatingly calm...and the only person who sees through Ash's walls. One stolen moment becomes another. Professional boundaries blur. And before either of them realizes it, they're risking careers, reputations, and futures for a relationship that should never have happened. Keeping their secret is hard. Pretending they don't belong together is impossible.
