When a midnight trade sends a buttoned-up Milwaukee defenseman to Nashville, he is forced to share a locker row and a hotel room with the sunshine star whose season he ended last spring. But this bitter rivalry is masking a ten-year-old secret from a summer camp dock, and this time, neither man can skate away.

Dane Rydquist is a closeted legacy player who has spent a decade pretending he doesn't care about Huck Teague. Huck is the franchise star of the Nashville Rhinestones, raised in a roller rink, fiercely proud to be out, and tired of hiding his insecurities behind a sunny smile. When team management throws them together as road roommates and the joint faces of a holiday toy drive, their shared history explodes into a forced proximity romance they can't escape.

Between ugly reindeer sweaters, midnight ice storms, and the glaring pressure of a New Year's Eve outdoor game against Milwaukee, the ice between them starts to melt. But Huck refuses to ever be a secret again, and Dane must decide if he is finally ready to risk his father's approval for love in this unforgettable christmas mm romance.
