I’ve spent years perfecting the art of hating Theo Sanders.
It’s easy when he’s on the other side of the ice, playing for our rivals, the Wildwood Wolverines. Easy when he’s being his usual obnoxious self, all wild plays and wilder gloating. Easy when I can channel everything I feel into checking him into the boards.
Then some genius decided to put us on the same team for hockey camp.
Seven days.
One locker room.
Zero escape.
I told myself I could handle it. Keep my distance. Stay professional. But Theo Sanders up close is… different. He’s still insufferable, still gets under my skin, still makes me want to scream. But now I’m noticing things I shouldn’t. The way his eyes light up when he laughs. How graceful he is when he’s not trying to destroy me on the ice. The fact that his shower is right next to mine.
The worst part? Sometimes I catch him looking at me too.
This week is going to be torture. Because the only thing more dangerous than being Theo Sanders’ enemy?
Is realizing I might not hate him at all.
This short read is a steamy contemporary new adult hockey romance featuring the enemies to lovers trope, a gay (male/male) pairing, and it is part one of a two-part story within this series.
