Gigi Graham wants three things: make the women's national hockey team, claim Olympic gold, and prove she's more than just her famous father's daughter. She's close to achieving all three, but her defensive play needs work. The only person who can help her is Luke Ryder, Briar's six-foot-five co-captain who just made the worst first impression possible on her legendary coach father, Garrett Graham. Ryder has his own problems. The men's team merged with their rivals, creating a roster full of players who despise each other. He wants that summer coaching position with Garrett Graham, but he blew his shot at a good relationship. When Gigi proposes a deal, it seems perfect. He trains her for nationals, she smooths things over with her dad. The arrangement should be simple and professional. Instead, they discover an intense attraction that threatens to derail everything they've worked for.
