Blurb:
A freak accident during the Stanley Cup Playoffs put an end to Max
Ashford’s hockey career. Despite everything, Max gets back into the game he
loves—only this time, behind the bench as an assistant coach of the Spartanburg
Spitfires, the worst team in the entire league. But nothing prepares him for
the shock when he learns the new head coach is Misha Samarin, the man who
caused Max’s accident.
After spending guilt-ridden years for his part in Max’s accident, Russian native Misha Samarin has no idea what to do when he’s confronted with Max’s presence. Max’s optimism plays havoc with Misha’s equilibrium—as does the fierce attraction that springs up between them.
Not only must they navigate Misha’s remorse and a past he’s spent a lifetime to forget, but also a sleazy GM determined to use their history as a marketing hook. But when an unwelcome visitor targets the team, Misha revisits his darkest days, which might cost him and Max the beginning they’ve worked so hard to build.

Excerpt:
“I’d never watched this,
you know.”
“The YouTube video?” Misha
had seen that too. It was filed with angry commenters yelling that he should be
deported back to Russia.
“The hit.”
Misha blinked. “You’ve seen
the commercial, though. Yes?”
“Yeah, I wish I could say
I haven’t seen that. But I meant, I didn’t watch this until a few months
ago. They played that game on the NHL channel, so I watched it.”
It never occurred to Misha
that Max wouldn’t have seen it, but then he remembered that Max was the hero,
not the villain of the story. Misha watched the hit play out on the screen.
What must that feel like, to watch the moment it all ended? When Max hit the
ice, did he know that game was his last? Did Misha know it was his? How had he
felt? He couldn’t remember.
The scene switched to the
replay. Misha watched dispassionately, retreated into the blinding pain of his
migraine, and told himself that it was all right to suffer, that he should,
that he deserved it.
Max paused the video.
“Look. See what I have there?”
Misha blinked. He had not
expected questions. “I—what?”
“The puck, Misha. The
puck. Your hit wasn’t late.”
Oh. “Yes. I know.”
Max stared at him. On the
television screen, their younger selves were suspended at the moment everything
changed.
