The Mates

New York's favorite hockey player and bar brawler, Riley Huntington, needs a PR fix—stat—or he'll be kicked off the team for good. Enter Liora James, an ex-Olympic figure skater with dreams as big as her heart and a past so dark it might break it. Desperate to right her wrongs, Liora pins her hopes high on a new TV show called "Grace on Ice," where figure skaters team up with celebrities in hopes of winning a million dollars. But to even stand a chance, she needs more than skill on the ice—she needs publicity.

Jayce Thornton had it all—fame, fortune, and a promising NHL career—until a devastating injury ended everything. Now he's left with nothing but a deep dive into cheap whiskey bottles. When Rosie, his best friend's little sister, shows up begging for his help, he should say no. Instead, he helps her cover up a crime, getting his hands dirty right along with hers. And the closer they get to exposing what really happened, the more they realize they're not just fighting the law—they're fighting their growing feelings for each other too.
