Ryan McCloud just wanted to stay in a cottage on Harbor Lake to give himself a mental reset after a heartbreaking loss in the playoffs. He didn't expect to find a woman he actually knew staying in the quaint cabin next door. He wanted to forget everything about his life in Detroit, but now that Lucy was so close, he couldn't keep his mind off of her. Sure, Lucy Evans knew a Detroit Pirate, but that was only because he lived next door to her best friend in an amazing building in the city. Seeing Ryan without a shirt on in a cottage up north? Well, that made her think things she hadn't before about the immature hockey player and his muscular body, especially after he has his way with her on his kitchen counter. But things change when they have to face the real world in Detroit, and it won't be easy to overlook their differences anymore. Will Lucy be able to get over the fact that this Detroit Pirate may not be mature enough for a relationship with her? And can Ryan prove that he's worthy of the love of a smart and sophisticated lawyer?
