And there's only one bed.

A single Grindr notification shatters the ice between them, revealing the attraction they've both been fighting since Kevin joined the team. One night of passion ignites a connection neither expected, transforming teammates into lovers.

Back in Boston, their on-ice chemistry explodes-and off the ice, things only get hotter. Between stolen glances, nights spent together, and a first date, Tyler and Kevin fall fast and hard. As the season continues, they'll have to decide if their connection is just a snowstorm anomaly... or the beginning of forever.
