And the team doesn't just replace his minutes. They replace his future.
Luca DeSantis is the calm, brilliant rookie everyone's calling "the next era," the kind of player built for highlight reels and marketing campaigns. He's also the reason Noah's pride is bleeding out in public. To make it worse, management forces them to share the team condoone kitchen, one schedule, one too-small space where every glance feels like a challenge.
Their first week as roommates becomes a cold war of territory and tension... until Coach throws them onto the same power-play unit. Noah's instinct and aggression clash with Luca's precisionright up until it starts working. Then it starts feeling inevitable. Late-night practices. Lingering touches disguised as routine. A storm-induced power outage that traps them in the dark with candlelight, shared heat, and confessions neither can take back.
Noah is terrified of becoming forgettableof being the veteran everyone quietly moves on from. Luca is tired of being treated like a solution instead of a person. And when rumors leak online, the team's PR machine clamps down hard, turning their connection into a liability. One disastrous game. One bench-side fight caught on camera. And suddenly the real threat isn't losing ice timeit's losing each other.
At midnight in an empty rink, they finally stop competing and start telling the truth. Desire becomes explicit. Consent becomes the rule. And partnership becomes the only way forwardon the ice and off it.
