Northlake University’s rink is ice-cold—until journalism senior Shay Donovan lands the tutoring gig no one else wants: rescuing star captain Kai Lawson from a statistics fail that could sink his NHL draft dreams.
She craves a front-page byline in Boston—he’ll do anything for a first-round call-up. Their deal is simple: late-night cram sessions, zero distractions, no feelings. But every equation she solves strips away his game-face confidence, and every glide of his stick shatters her resolve to stay detached.
When a championship run collides with dueling career offers on opposite coasts, Shay and Kai must choose between the future they’ve always chased and the one they never saw coming.
Because in the final seconds, goals and grades won’t matter as much as who’s still waiting at center ice when the buzzer sounds.
Will they risk the distance—and their hearts—for a love powerful enough to skate past every obstacle?
