On-ice rivals. Off-ice everything.
Miles Reyes is the fastest, loudest, most electric winger in the division — a highlight reel in skates who uses humor and chaos to hide the fact that he’s terrified of being too much for anyone to love.
Eli York is the shutdown defenseman who erases him every game — six-three, quiet as a cathedral, built like a wall. On the ice, he’s the immovable object to Miles’s unstoppable force. Off the ice, he reads poetry to his cat, names his sourdough starter, and hasn’t told a single person he’s gay.
They’ve been enemies for three seasons. The hockey world loves their rivalry — the hits, the chirps, the compilation videos with millions of views.
What nobody knows: they’ve been sleeping together for two of those three years.
It started at a charity game. A hotel bar. Too many drinks and a kiss against a wall that turned into the most devastating night of Miles’s life. They told themselves it was a one-time thing. Then burner phones appeared. Then hotel rooms in neutral cities. Then the word love — whispered, typed, said against skin in the dark — and suddenly the thing they were hiding became the only thing that felt real.
Now a traded teammate knows their secret. The playoffs are coming. And the life they’ve built in the margins of their real lives is about to become the most public story in professional hockey.
