Starting something with them fulfills him in ways he never expected, but threatens to scatter his focus from his game.
Tyler Moore is on his last chance. A hockey career riddled with injuries kept him on the bench more often than being on the ice and from connecting with teammates and fulfilling his dreams. Being traded to the Saint Paul Slash reunites him with Soren, introduces him to Bax, and gives him a taste of finally belonging.
As outside pressures mount and unexpected slap shots careen their way, the trio discover that falling in love changes everything, including what matters most, what they want, and what they’ll do when their hearts are in play.

Sage Murray has spent the last three years playing for the minor league Saint Paul Slash. He’s found a family in the teammates who share a home with him and they’ve helped him get a better handle on the anxiety he battles every day. Having the best season of his career, he hopes to receive a call up to the Minneapolis Metros and achieve his dream of playing in hockey’s top league. When a night out brings him face to face with Metros defenseman Rhys Farrell, their interaction spotlights their attraction, and Sage sees a side of Rhys that intrigues him to find out more.
Rhys Farrell has spent his career in the shadow of his Hall of Famer father. Winning the Cup would set him apart, and he wants more than anything to win it with the teammates who embraced him during his lowest moments. But an injured shoulder has kept him from the lineup, his teammates are dropping like flies, and their shot at redemption from last season’s heartbreaking loss is fading. During a short stint with the Slash as he readies to return to the team, he’s captivated by Sage, and for the first time in years, he’s tempted to focus on more than just hockey.
The pair are continually drawn to each other. Rhys gives Sage the warmth and acceptance he craves, and Sage takes care of Rhys in ways he’s never experienced before. But as the race to the playoffs heats up and sees them both in the Metros lineup, Rhys and Sage discover that dating a teammate is one thing, but falling in love with one is a whole other game.
