Their arguments ignite something neither anticipated, transforming anger into undeniable attraction. Meanwhile, hockey player Brody Croft spots Hayden Houston across a crowded bar and feels an instant pull toward the brunette. Brody wants to leave his reputation behind and build something real with her. After spending one incredible night together, he becomes certain Hayden is the woman he wants forever. The challenge lies in proving to her that his feelings run deeper than his past suggests and that their connection could become something lasting.
