Despite being unanimously projected to go first overall in the upcoming NHL Draft, Noah Anderson wants nothing more than to get the Draft over with so he can escape his dads unrelenting criticism and establish himself outside the rivalry hes never tried to fuel.

Alex Valencia can handle getting picked second after a guy touted as the next Gretzky-but he cant wrap his head around the fact that Noah is the one friend he cant make.

When the draft lottery all but guarantees theyll play for rival teams, Alex accidentally walks them right into a loser-buys dinner competition, ensuring their relationship remains a point of interest long after the season begins.

Opposites in so many ways, neither Alex nor Noah expect a relationship built on the begrudging acceptance of a challenge made on live television to become so deeply important to them.

But as the line between chirping and flirting blurs, they both must decide how much theyre willing to sacrifice to play in the NHL.
