The vibe

Nothing interferes with pro hockey star Shane Hollander’s game. As captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he’s determined to keep his focus—especially when it comes to the one rival he loves to hate.
Ilya Rozanov, captain of the Boston Bears, is everything Shane isn’t: cocky, magnetic, and the self-proclaimed king of the ice. No one can beat him… except Shane. Publicly, they’re enemies. Privately, they can’t stop touching each other.
What starts as secret hookups turns into something neither of them can control—along with a growing problem: keeping their relationship out of the press. The smart move is to walk away before the truth destroys them both. But for Shane and Ilya, secrecy doesn’t stay an option for long… and neither does pretending this is just a game.
