“Hey. Uh, would you like to go with me tonight?”
“Uhm,” Rafe said, scratching the back of his still-sweaty neck. “No offense, but I just got out of a relationship and—”
Mickey shot him a quick, amused smile. “Not like that. I thought you might want a buddy to stick with tonight since you have no idea where we’re going or anything. I figured I could help you get oriented.”
“Oh. Shit.” Rafe dropped his head, feeling embarrassed.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have—”
“No, it’s cool.” Mickey shot him another smile. “I get it.”

The last thing Rafael Moon needs is to fall in love with another teammate ...
Following a painful breakup, Rafe is looking forward to a fresh start in Boston, and he’s thrilled when he immediately clicks with his new D-partner, Mickey Krause.
Mickey’s smart, talented, and loves telling Rafe what to do. It feels good to have some structure and, finally, Rafe’s life is coming together on and off the ice.
As their friendship deepens, Rafe slowly realizes he’s falling for Mickey. Too bad he’s been down this road before. He knows exactly how badly it could end.
Roles are defined and tension smolders, but neither of them can stop their out-of-control feelings.
An independent perfectionist, Mickey’s had a rough season so far and he’s immediately smitten with Rafe’s sweet, earnest vibes.
Finally having someone who works well with him in the bedroom and beside him in a game has him hitting all his goals.
But when Mickey’s world is turned upside down following an altercation with Rafe’s ex, he’ll have to learn to let go and let someone else lead for once.
Their relationship and the team depend on it.
