Grind: Mm Hockey Romance

GRIND

Two cast-offs. One line. A locker room built on absolute compliance.

Reid Garrison survives on grit. He takes the heavy hits, blocks the shots, and keeps his mouth shut. At twenty-eight, the Las Vegas expansion draft is his final shot at the NHL. One mistake sends him back to pouring concrete in Duluth.

Tyler Costa possesses elite hands and a toxic reputation. Branded a liability and traded to the desert, he carries a massive chip on his shoulder and a father who expects him to fail. He hates the Aces’ defensive system. He hates the fourth-line plug enforcing it.

Coach Boone forces them onto the same line.

The friction between them ignites the ice. Reid clears the path. Tyler buries the puck. But the hostility does not end at the rink. Forced to share a cramped corporate apartment, the tight quarters push them to the brink. The brutal tension builds. The boundary between raw hatred and dangerous hunger begins to blur.

The NHL is a ruthless machine. Cameras track every move. One slip in the desert heat threatens to destroy the only thing keeping them in the league.
