His teammate Colton Morrow attracts her despite her strict rule against dating players. When devastating family news sends Poppy into crisis, she turns to both defensemen for comfort.

Her professional reputation hangs in the balance while she navigates an impossible personal situation. The boundaries between her work life and private desires have collapsed completely.
