My rookie season in the NHL started with a gut punch.

There he was, standing in my locker room. Jett Jarvis, a player hated by his former teammates.

He has an arrogant smirk, intense eyes, and a birthmark that looks…too familiar. I’m sure I saw it on the dude who dumped me in my hookup app.

The line between loathing him and wanting him blurs with every heated exchange, every accidental touch.

The thread between love and hate is razor-thin, and we’re skating on the edge.
