Rachel Winters has fought hard to establish a life for herself in Detroit; a teacher, founding member of a women’s rec. hockey league, and content with her life. Life for Rachel hasn’t been without its struggles, she defends her heart as fiercely as she defends the ice, determined not to let herself fall in love again... Gabriel Bouchard, goal tender for the Detroit Union, knows that every defense has its weakness. As Gabriel and Rachel find themselves in each others’ orbit, their defenses break down, and Rachel finds herself doing the one thing she swore she wouldn’t do falling for a hockey player.
