When opposites attract, this bottom-of-the-league team will never be the same again. A stipulation in his father's will forces Mark back into the arms of a family that disowned him and leaves him one-third owner of a hockey team facing financial ruin. He doesn't even watch hockey, let alone like it, and wants nothing more than to head back to New York. Then there's the new coach, a stubborn, opinionated, irritating man with superiority issues and questionable music taste. Butting heads with Rowen becomes the new normal, but it comes with passionate debate and an all-consuming lust. Challenged to rebuild one of the worst teams in the league into a future cup contender, Rowen can't pass up the opportunity. Never in his twenty years of hockey has he ever seen a team managed so badly or coached players overflowing with resentment and bigotry. Yet there's something about this team and this city that compels him to roll up his sleeves and start dismantling. If only Mark, one of three siblings who now own the Raptors, wasn't so damned rock-headed yet so damned appealing his job might be easier. It doesn't look like either is willing to give in, but one night in a dark, desert hotel changes everything.

Sometimes it's easier to fall into the shadows than hold onto the light. Injured in a horrific car accident by a man who made him feel like nothing, Henry was left with life threatening injuries, crippling self doubt, and his career as a hockey player destroyed. He's struggling to see, and as much as people tell him to have hope because he's young and fit, his vision is compromised and he's spiraling into despair. Estranged from his family, and his money all gone, there seems to be no hope. Hockey gave him freedom, and now it's all been taken away.Adler insists on letting Henry stay in a vast Lockhart-owned mansion in Tuscon, but it's a big and lonely place. When Apollo arrives at the house with his sunny smile and infectious optimism, along with his no-nonsense rules, he slowly becomes an integral part of Henry's life. But one day, when Henry is better, Apollo will leave, and what happens then? Has Henry really fallen for the dark eyed man, or is it all just smoke and mirrors? If there is one thing that Apollo Vasquez knows all about it's helping others and living with quirky athletes. After all, he's spent most of his adult life tending to one of the richest hockey playing heirs in America. His days have been filled with friendship, laughter, and the knowledge that he's needed. Or he used to be. Over the past year Apollo's best friend, Adler Lockhart, has been slipping away, his time spent with his boyfriend, on the ice, or traveling the world with the man he loves. This leaves Apollo feeling like a clunky third wheel or all alone in a luxurious apartment with no one to fuss over. Knowing that his life is at a crossroads, his loving nature leads him far away from his childhood friend to the dry desert town of Tucson where he signs on to care for Henry Greenaway as the young Raptor recovers both mentally and physically from a near fatal car crash. Henry is also facing a new life, one that might lead him from the sport he has loved for so long. Cooking, cleaning, and providing moral support is just what the doctor ordered for Apollo, and he soon finds himself not only rediscovering himself and a new life he adores, but falling for the sweet, lost, injured man who's slowly capturing his heart one timid smile at a time.

The heart wants what the heart wants and Alejandro's wants Sebastian. Sebastian Brown is on a mission to rescue the Arizona Raptors after he made a vow he made to a friend in college. Either that or he's on vacation. He's not entirely sure that he's made up his mind yet. Either way, traveling from England, to the arid desert of Arizona isn't exactly a picnic, particularly with the doubts and worries he takes with him. He's turned even the worst of companies around, but faced with the challenge of improving the reputation of a hockey team that everyone seems to hate, he knows his work is cut out for him. Focus is key, but that is easier said than done when Seb is sent into a tailspin by the intriguing Alejandro. Seb's entire marketing plan hinges on making Alex a poster boy for equality and fair play. But with Alex's utter dedication to the game, and his dark secretive eyes, the gorgeous Alex is stubborn, opinionated, doesn't want any part of being the team focus, and worst of all, doesn't appear to like Seb at all. It takes everything that Seb has to keep his hands off of Alex, but things get out of hand and Seb's life might never be the same again. Alejandro Garcia has had to work hard to get where he's at. Born to Mexican immigrants, his siblings and himself have never had it easy in this new country their parents dreamed of calling home. A native son of Arizona, Alex has always been the odd man out on the ice but he's not going to let a stupid thing like his heritage get in the way of his dreams. He's now a Raptor and he plans to put all that training and collegiate hockey experience to good use. Working hard comes naturally to him. It's something his parents have instilled in him from the time he was a toddler. Being one of a handful of Latino hockey players makes him strive for success with even more determination. His first pro season has had some ups but a lot more downs, but Alex is one stubborn young man and failure is not an option.As the Raptors struggle to rebuild not only their team but their core values, Alex finds himself drawn to one of the owner's friends, a tall, lanky Brit with the face of an angel and an accent and attitude that bewitches and befuddles him. Sebastian is everything he thought he would never be attracted to but he can't push the sexy, older, fun-loving man out of his thoughts. If ever there were a man he would not be able to take home to his parents - not that he can bring a man home since he is deeply closeted - it's Sebastian, but desire knows no socioeconomic, age, or international borders.

When love is on the line, the worst decisions can end up having the best endings Tate Collins, an all-American hockey phenomenon, was the highly marketable face of Dallas hockey. Loaded down with endorsements and playing his best game, he was a superstar and a household name. No one ever expected him to fail, but overnight, after the worst decision of his life, everything spirals out of his control. Abruptly, his reputation is in tatters, and he's traded to the Arizona Raptors in a shocking move. Brushing off the wild and unfounded accusations that he faces on social media, and stuck on the second line, he keeps his head down and works hard to earn his spot. Tate knows he can make a difference if only his teammates would let him. Something has to change for him to earn their respect, but falling for the captain might not be his best move. Vladislav Novikov has been called many things over his long and illustrious career, but the new nickname of Iceberg seems to fit best. Perhaps it's due to his icy blue eyes, or the way he rams into opposing players as he defends his goalie. Or maybe it's because of his cool demeanor when not playing the game he loves. Whatever the reason, it's why he's the perfect team captain for this wild bunch of puck-pushers. His perfectly controlled life is smooth as ice until Tate Collins rides into Tucson with his apple pie ways and those damn dimples. The young superstar immediately catches his eye. Despite knowing better than to start something with a teammate, the big, bad Iceberg is about to have that chilly veneer around his heart melted away by Tate one sweet kiss at a time.

Now the Raptors are moving into their first playoff appearance in years, but the arrival of an unexpected package means that hockey may have to take a backseat to something way more important. Instead of the usual undergarments from adoring fans, he finds a newborn baby with a small note tucked under her carrier, naming him as the father. He refuses to give up his daughter and is determined to be the kind of father he'd dreamed of having. But to keep Madeline, he'll need help, and he'll need it fast. Enter handsome emergency manny, Joseph. They may be opposites, but Colorado starts to see that Joseph's stable, calm influence makes his chaotic lifestyle choices seem less appealing. There's something about the man that soothes not only his infant daughter but also the wild child inside Colorado. Joseph is one year away from getting his degree in planetary science, working cover shifts at the planetarium, and pulling in income with short term manny gigs. Stars collide as he provides emergency childcare for the wild man of hockey, a man who moves so fast through life that he doesn't know how to stop. Homeless, and caring for his niece, Emma, fate brings Joseph into Colorado and baby Madeline's life. Madeline is a sweetheart, and Colorado is trying his hardest to make the best decision for his baby girl. He offers his home and an indecent salary, to keep Joseph in his life until summer's end.

Nothing in the contract said Joseph had to fall in love to make that happen, but when it's time for him to leave, will the void in his heart ever heal, or will it remain as cold as space itself?
