They’re as different as fire and ice. But that doesn’t mean the sparks won’t fly…

Aleksander Emerson is newly divorced, recently came out as pansexual, and ready to celebrate singledom. What better way to do it than party with the Collective, a supportive group of LGBTIA+ NHL hockey players?

Gabe the firefighter gets called to a party that went awry and it’s business as usual until he literally collides with a drunken party goer, who just happens to be a smoking hot NHL megastar. Gabe has zero interest in hockey, but could be tempted to tune in if every player looks like Aleks.

After the first thing Aleks says to Gabe is a drunken declaration about wanting to have his babies, there is no doubt about the heat between them - which is about the only thing the pair agree on. The new unlikely friends strike a deal, Gabe will help Aleks navigate casual dating, with no strings attached. But can Gabe keep it casual and is it all happening too soon for Aleks when catching feelings seems inevitable?

Hilarious and sexy, this friends with benefits romance will be the new obsession for fans of Tough Guy and Emily Rath.
