Ive spent years perfecting the art of hating Theo Sanders.

Its easy when hes on the other side of the ice, playing for our rivals, the Wildwood Wolverines. Easy when hes 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.

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.
