I never really felt like I had a home.

But with Emmy next to me, I think home is wherever she is . . .

Emmy Hartwell has waited for a spot on an NHL roster since she became a professional hockey player, and this season, shell finally get a chance to showcase her talents with the struggling DC Stars. Maverick Miller is the best player in the league, but hes never had a winning record. Team captain and desperate to turn things around, he agrees to play nice with the fiery new left-winger even though theyre total opposites.

After a night of explosive tension that ends in bed, Emmy and Maverick swear itll be a one-time thing just enough to clear the air so they can focus on their game. Its meaningless, she insists, because she doesnt date hockey players, and hes a notorious playboy who doesnt date at all. But ‘just once’ quickly becomes again and again, and while they promise their friends-with-benefits setup will end with the season, their chemistry off the ice proves impossible to ignore .
