Here's Hayden Hall's "Price of Victory." It's the fifth novel in his new Saints of Westmont U series.
["He was my forbidden enemy. My darkest temptation. And the one person who could destroy everything I've built.
Rhett
Some rivalries run deeper than blood. Ours runs deeper than hate.
Aiden Whitmore was never supposed to be on my team. Not after what his family did to mine.
Not after the hostile takeover that nearly destroyed us.
But he's here, skating circles around my defenses with that cocky smirk and those green eyes that see straight through me.
I should stay away. I should remember why I hate him.
Instead, I'm thinking about his hands on my skin and the way he looked at me in that library.
Enemies. Teammates. Obsessions.
This isn't just about hockey anymore. And I'm about to lose the only game that matters.
Aiden
He wants me gone. I want him on his knees.
Rhett Morrison thinks he's better than me. More honorable, more deserving, more everything.
He doesn't know about the pressure crushing me from all sides. And he doesn’t want to bend.
But he will.
I see the way he watches me in the locker room.
I know how his body responds when I pin him against the wall.
He can hate my name all he wants. By the time I'm done with him, he'll be moaning it."]
I love how a book starts off seeming as though it's opposite attract, but the more the characters get to know each other, they're not all that different. A mutual want of something of their own, a mutual hate of the pressures and expectations placed on them, a mutual obsession with each other (a hate and announce grown over the years suddenly turned to love so deep). Shocker, when they let the animosity go, they talk and talk and talk and get to know each other, and when they know each other, it's anything but opposites (but there is a toooon of attraction).
