“With a name like Chase, I should have known you’d catch up with me,” she says sporting her wry smile, pretending to be all casually cynical. I would have believed her act if it hadn’t been for that one night... Only problem is, I’m dying to re-live it all. And she’s not. Chase Whittier, just up from the minor leagues to join the NHL's new Portsmouth Whalers, is riding high and out to celebrate in Boston after their win against the Brawlers. In a departure from his usual behavior, he takes a woman home for a one night stand. Except this woman and this night are not what he expects from a one-night-stand. He connects with her on a level he’s never experienced before. This can’t be normal. But when she disappears before morning, he's more than disappointed because he didn't get her number—or her last name. And though he doesn’t expect to ever see her again, she stays on his mind. Until two weeks later when he goes to his grandma’s in Boston for Christmas and finds her there. She's his grandma's caretaker. And not happy to see him. At all.
