When Hate Turns to Heat on the Ice
Imagine stepping onto the ice, facing the one person who represents everything you despise-only to discover they're now your teammate. This is the reality for hockey stars Oakley Reed and Quinton de Haas, whose bitter rivalry began years ago during a high school championship game. When Quinton's cutting comment about Oakley riding his famous father's coattails led to a bloody confrontation, their mutual hatred was cemented. Four years later, fate throws them together at Leighton University, where their animosity threatens to derail not just their own careers, but their entire team's championship dreams. Their loathing manifests in self-sabotaging behaviors on the ice-Quinton ignoring Oakley's superior positioning, Oakley abandoning defensive assignments-resulting in the team's worst season start in a decade. Every interaction crackles with tension, revealing deeper insecurities: Oakley's desperate need to prove himself beyond his family name, and Quinton's fear that his aggressive reputation overshadows his leadership abilities. But what happens when the line between hatred and attraction begins to blur?
