When Noah, a media studies student, steps into his new role as social media photo assistant for Northwood University’s ice hockey team, he has no idea his anonymous online boyfriend of three months, Rex, is on the roster. A championship pin and an obsidian wristband lead him to mistakenly believe the team’s vice-captain Cole is Rex. Cole’s long-term public girlfriend only reinforces Noah’s fear: he is nothing more than a well-kept secret for a closeted hockey player. But the real Rex is Arthur Vaughn — the team captain, NHL top draft prospect, and heir to a wealthy family, the most intimidating and dazzling man on campus. Arthur recognized Noah from the very start, closing in on him under his real-life identity. When the misunderstanding finally unravels, Noah is forced to make a choice: is he in love with the tender lover behind the screen, or the fearsome ice hockey star who is ready to give all his softness only to him?
