Unrivaled

People say there's a fine line between love and hate. If you ask Grady Armstrong, the line's as obvious as the one across the middle of a hockey rink.



So he can't explain why he doesn't walk away when his Grindr hookup-a guy who accused him of impersonating himself-turns out to be Max Lockhart, a rival player Grady once punched in the face. Apparently Max can goad him just as well off the ice as he can on it.



Max Lockhart showed up thinking he was going to expose a fake. Instead he hooks up with a guy who claims to hate him. And has a good time. A really good time. But that doesn't mean players from different teams can be together.



Max has always wished Grady would relax a little. When the season starts and Grady accepts Max's offer of help with finding someone to date for real, Max gets his wish. But he should've been careful what he wished for, because now that he knows Grady is a big softie under that prickly shell, he'd rather keep Grady for himself.



Grady only goes on a handful of dates before he realizes he has a lot more fun with Max. But he can't be falling for a rival player… can he?
