When NHL superstar Serge Lefebvre isn't lighting up the scoreboard, he's brightening disaster-stricken communities around the world. Always the savior, he's got his life all planned out. Until he meets Griff Russo, an adrenaline-chasing nurse with a quick wit and a guarded heart. Griff lives for emergency relief missions, for the satisfaction of making a difference where it counts. He's got no room for anything—or anyone—else. Especially not a hockey player with a hero complex. Thrown together in the chaos of an earthquake relief effort, their chemistry is seismic. Yet, Serge's hesitance to be vulnerable and Griff's resistance to compromise fan the flames of doubt. With Serge's hockey season calling him back and Griff offered a career-making international assignment, they're pulled worlds apart. In a life where control is everything, will these two strong-willed men learn to co-pilot their way into a future together? Or will their insurmountable barriers and demanding careers make them decide that this unexpected love is simply not worth the fight?
