After growing up a soap star, then starring in a hugely successful trilogy of action movies, he's finally given the chance to read a heartfelt and passionate script that could change his life forever. The role would be enough for people to see him as a serious actor, and maybe even win him an award or two (and no, a golden raspberry award for his action movies doesn't count). Once established as a serious actor he’s sure he can come out of the closet and finally live his truth. When he lies to get the part of a hockey player on a struggling team, he suddenly has nowhere to hide. He might be Canadian, but the last time he skated he was ten, and no, he doesn't have hockey in his blood. With only a month until filming starts, he about to be exposed, but partnered with a player who’s supposed to be giving him tips, he doesn’t realize how many of his secrets will come to light. Falling in lust, one heated kiss at a time, is inevitable, but giving Cameron up at the end of the shoot could break his heart. Cameron Chavkin is the face of the LA Storm. And the body, and the hair, and the smile. He’s at the prime of his career, men and women want to be with him, and he’s skating better than he ever has before. His house sits next to a famous rock star's mansion, his garage is filled with expensive cars, and he’s even been asked to mentor a once-famous actor in a new hockey movie. Life is pretty sweet. Until the bad boy of hockey meets Finn, a man on the edge with more secrets than Cameron has endorsements. Knowing better than to get involved, Cameron is swept up despite himself, and when it's time to say goodbye to the Storm’s most eligible bachelor is finding it hard to follow the script. less

Post-breakup, he heads to the other side of the country to crash with his best friend, doubling as a part-time nanny and working on his research every spare moment. When he finds out a hated rival, the same ex he’s just left, is working on Jamie’s ideas, he has to up his game, and looks to the violent game of hockey for inspiration. Unfortunately, to do that, he has to at least watch a game, and that’s when he sees Craig, winger, former figure skater, and the sexiest man he’s ever laid eyes on. Initially, Jamie’s all about the math, wanting Craig’s help to crack the code on predicting sports moves with the Fibonacci sequence. At first their worlds collide—Jamie buttoned up and focused, Craig prickly and defensive–but as they team up, something unexpected happens. Amidst late-night study sessions and ice rink chill-outs, Jamie finds that maybe, just like in math, there’s a formula for love, and Craig might just be the answer he wasn’t even looking for.Craig Beaulieu has made it to the pros through pure grit and determination. As a child, his dyslexia made his hours spent in the classroom difficult. Thankfully, he had the ice to retreat to when things at school got too intense. His skill on skates led him first into figure skating as a pairs partner to his twin sister and then to ice hockey, where he worked twice as hard as the other guys to make sense of all those X’s and O’s. With the help of an understanding coach in high school, Craig was able to make a collegiate hockey team where he was picked up by the Storm for his speed, grace, and ability to light the lamp. Life is rolling along smoothly, if not a little solitary, when he meets Jamie at a team party. He’s instantly attracted to the handsome Brit and wholly unprepared to be asked to take part in some sort of mathematical study about sports movement. Drawn to Jamie but leery of looking out-of-place with the brightest minds in academia, he agrees to take part in the study just to gawk at the handsome professor. Things don’t start well at all, but over time Craig falls hard and fast despite all his fancy moves both on and off the ice. less
