As all the clichés go, best-selling author, Maisie Sterling, is facing a major writer's block after her long-term boyfriend dumps her for none other than his own sister—sorry, ex step-sister. Struggling to regain her creative spark, she's desperate for inspiration and she finds it in the most unexpected place. After leaving a sarcastic comment on a viral video from NHL team Seattle Strikers, she receives an unusual job offer: to write a book with the help of a player. The catch? She has to make a character based on him. Enter Rowan Hartley, the grumpy, closed-off defenseman she's to work with. He's gruff, dismissive, and would rather take a puck to the head than spend some time with her... unless she's on her knees, of course. The more time spent together, the more clear it becomes that the line between love and loathing is dangerously thin.
