I played hard and lived even harder.

At least until the mayor of River's Bend got it in her head that the hockey players carousing through her small town in Nowhere, California were unwelcome.

I couldn't care less.

My priorities were pucks, puck bunnies, and pucking my way to the top.

Only...I underestimated the mayor and her intentions to clean up the town, the Rush, and end my streak through the town's female population.

I underestimated that her matchmaking abilities might be on point.

I underestimated that her niece might be...

The woman who would lay claim to my heart.
