Teo Elgin was the best goalie on the New Hampshire Bears, but when he lost his passion to play, he also lost his starting position and was moved to backup goalie. However, when he meets shy, sweet Nova Long, he realizes his life will never be the same. Nova turns his world upside down and makes him feel things he’s never felt before for another woman. Then one day she stops talking to him. No phone call. No text. Nothing. Being only nineteen years old, Nova Long has had a hard life. At a young age, her mother died and her dad didn’t want her. She went to live with her loving uncle and cousin, but was repeatedly abused by her aunt. The first time she saw Teo Elgin, the hot goalie on her uncle’s hockey team, Nova was hooked. She’s never been happier. It was all going so perfectly with him until one, fateful night changed everything. Almost a year later, Nova and Teo cross paths again and a big secret is revealed, leaving Teo heartbroken and mad at the world and Nova trying to piece her life back together. Will the constant changes of their lives bring them closer or tear them apart?
