Summary
Ex-friends. Rivals. Teammates. From the author of the fan-favorite Breakaway series (“top-notch yearners”—The New York Times) comes an electric young adult hockey romance about two rising star players forced to team up for their final season—if their hearts can survive the proximity.

Seventeen-year-old hockey phenoms Milo and Cole were best friends before they faced off during last season’s playoff final. But after a fight that left them both brokenhearted and Cole with a complex hand injury, they’re no longer speaking… even if they can’t stop thinking about each other.

Months later, Milo returns to his hometown of Ann Arbor to play for the Aces—a.k.a. Cole’s team—which means facing the boy who’d rather shoot him eye daggers than the puck. Meanwhile Cole is trying to make a comeback that will satisfy the scouts and his Hall of Fame dad, but he can’t train alone. Too bad there’s only ever been one player who can match him on the ice, and he’s the last person whose help Cole wants.

With their championship season and NHL dreams on the line, Milo and Cole will have to set aside all their hurt and anger. Except maybe it’s not hate they’re feeling after all…

Critic Reviews

"E. L. Massey slaps your heart like a puck and scores the winning goal with Playing Aces—a sweet, thoughtful, incredibly romantic story of friendship on fire that will make you swoon!"—Matthew Hubbard, author of Drop Dead Handsome

“I loved PLAYING ACES! E. L. Massey creates characters so familiar that you feel you already know them. Even if you’ve never heard of goalie interference and can’t find the blue line, read this beautiful book and thank me later. Us and hockey forever!”—Cathy Berner, Blue Willow Bookshop
