Time to Shine

For Landon Stackhouse, a call-up from Calgary’s farm team is both thrilling and intimidating—especially as a backup goalie who rarely leaves the bench. Naturally quiet and guarded, he knows he gives off a “don’t talk to me” vibe. The only exception? Team superstar Casey Hicks.

Warm, charming, and effortlessly relaxed, Casey treats Landon like an old friend despite barely knowing him. They’re complete opposites—but when Landon needs a place to stay and Casey wants to avoid living alone, an unlikely roommate situation begins.

As Casey chips away at Landon’s walls, a reluctant friendship turns into something deeper. Holidays together blur the lines between bromance and romance—but with the new year comes a deadline: Landon’s time in Calgary is running out.
