Starting goalie Ashton Kincaid has never backed down from a fight. With the NHL draft looming, he's determined to prove he belongs between the pipes-even if it means ignoring the anger, injuries, and pressure threatening to consume him.

Keeping their secret is hard.
Pretending they don't belong together is impossible.
