Max is the captain of the Bolts, hot and talented like no one has a right to be. Luz is the captain of the Strikes, hot-headed and impulsive like she probably shouldn't be. When they meet on the ice by accident, sparks fly between them as free as the insults.A class project pairs them together, and slowly they start to realize the electricity between them isn't hatred, but irresistible attraction.
