Summary
Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are rivals.
Everyone in the hockey world knows it. Every game between them is a battle, every glance across the ice carries the tension of years spent competing against each other.
What no one knows is that beneath the rivalry, there has always been something else.
A want. A pull. A desire neither of them has ever been willing to admit out loud.
Four years into their rivalry, a post-game argument leaves them trapped together in an old equipment closet beneath the arena. Outside, a heatwave grips the city. Inside, the temperature keeps rising, and two people who have spent years pretending they don’t want each other are forced to sit with the truth.
With nowhere to go and no way to avoid each other, Shane and Ilya have to confront what has been there all along.
The rivalry was always real, but so was everything else.
When the door finally opens, will they still be able to go back to being rivals?
