For years, the media and fans fed the rivalry between the two best alpha players in ice hockey history: Rowan Kane, star center of the Helios Blades and Adrian Voss, captain of the Virex Frostwolves. So naturally, Rowan Kane hated Adrian Voss. Until one drunken night leaves him waking up in Adrian’s bed, knotted and marked, sharing a bond with the one man he swore he could never stand. With the season in full swing and the media watching their every move, Rowan struggles against a bond that keeps pulling him closer to Adrian both on and off the ice. But beneath the rivalry lies years of buried feelings, dangerous secrets, and betrayals that threaten to destroy everything they’ve built. And Rowan is about to discover that the rivalry was never mutual at all.
