Adrian Hayes has everything most people dream fame, wealth, championships, and millions of fans. But one carefully planned scandal threatens to destroy it all overnight. After being framed in a false intimacy scandal before the league playoffs, Adrian's sponsors withdraw, his reputation crumbles, and the team gives him only one week to restore public trust. Desperate, his PR team proposes an unusual solution: create the image of a loyal, wholesome friendship with someone outside the hockey world. During the search, Adrian unexpectedly reunites with Ethan Brooks, a struggling photographer he knew during university. Ethan is fighting a different battle. His mother's mounting hospital bills have pushed him to the edge of bankruptcy, forcing him to reject his dream photography projects.

Their contract is leaked, jealous rivals manipulate the media, and both men are forced to choose between protecting their careers or following their hearts. Through injuries, betrayals, family struggles, and public judgment, Adrian and Ethan discover that the greatest victory is not winning championships but finding someone willing to stand beside them long after the cameras stop rolling.

"You really think you can seduce the Alpha looking like that?" The mischievous grey wolf beside me whispered. He was trying to make me give up, but I had to come out the victor in these games for my pack and my family. He slowly took one clawed finger and slipped the strap of my silk burgundy floor length gown off my shoulder in front of the whole table of wolf royalty. "That's a little more like it," He coaxed, "Look at him with all of those other attractive wolves to choose from. You'll never catch his attention like this." I stared at the end of the table where the Alpha sat. He was dark of hair and broad of chest and always had a smile and was willing to lend a paw to a wolf in need. He was laughing at something the stunning blonde she-wolf beside him had said and that cheerful couple drew a sharp contrast from the unknown man on his other side. I couldn't even be sure that man was a wolf at all, he was pale and lean but his eyes were dark, cold and...and never seemed to leave my face. "Just give up the games now," the grey wolf continues, "fall into my arms instead I can take care of you just as well as some fancy Alpha can. Close your eyes, you won't even notice the difference." I felt his tongue from my collar bone to my jaw.
