Mickey James III arrives at college carrying the weight of family legacy. His father and grandfather both made NHL history, and everyone expects Mickey to follow their path straight to the league's number one draft position. But Jaysen Caulfield stands in his way. Jaysen competes for that same top spot, and he's both Mickey's teammate and his most frustrating rival. Mickey finds Jaysen infuriating in every possible way, including how attractive he is. As the season progresses, their fierce competition begins shifting into something neither player anticipated. Mickey discovers that winning the draft might cost him something he never expected to want. He must choose between the hockey legacy that's been planned for him since birth and a relationship that could change everything. The ice rink becomes the stage where Mickey learns about love, discovers what real teamwork means, and decides whether he'll live his family's dream or create his own future.
