From USA Today bestselling author Chelsea Curto comes the first book in the D.C. Stars series, a steamy rivals-to-lovers hockey romance that hits the ice with high stakes and higher tension. This collectible edition is a must-have for fans, featuring exclusive content including full-color character art and a never-before-seen bonus chapter.

Emerson “Emmy” Hartwell has spent her entire career fighting for a place in the NHL. Now that she’s finally earned a spot with the struggling D.C. Stars, she’s determined to make the most of it and prove she belongs in the big leagues. But her path to success is complicated by Maverick Miller.

Maverick is the best player in the league, but even his talent hasn’t been enough to turn the Stars into winners. As team captain, he’s desperate to turn things around, which means keeping the peace with the team’s fiery new left-winger—even if the two of them clash at every turn. When the tension between them reaches a tipping point, Emmy and Maverick agree to a one-time distraction to get the attraction out of their systems so they can focus on the season.

After all, Emmy doesn’t date hockey players, and Maverick—infamous for his playboy reputation—doesn’t date anyone. Except what should’ve happened just once happens again, and again. They tell each other their arrangement is only for the season, but despite facing off on the ice, behind closed doors, the pair is nothing but fire.
