Rowdy is St. David's golden boy—captain of the Devils hockey team and the town's most eligible bachelor. But beneath the charm and swagger, he's restless, and dreaming of life beyond his small town. Until fate drops a beautiful stranger into his arms.
Tressy didn't plan to flee her old life dressed only in a Cinderella gown with her young daughter in tow. She certainly didn't plan to fall into the arms of the sexiest hockey player, who’s cocky, funny and absolutely irresistible.
But in a small town where hockey is a religion and everyone knows your business, some things are impossible to hide.
As the heat between them ignites, Rowdy will have to choose between his dream of leaving his home and family and the woman who's stolen his heart. And Tressy will have to decide if she's brave enough to stop running and fight for the love she never saw coming.
