She has a goalie problem.

Therapist Dani Albans swore off hockey players after her last disaster, so naturally she ends up fake-dating one. When her goalie ex won't take a hint, she asks a stranger to kiss her in public, only to find out he’s a NHL goalie too. It’s not lost on her that apparently her type is "men who stop pucks for a living"…just like her estranged father.

Gabe Tucker, golden retriever goalie for the Denver Stampede, couldn't resist helping a beautiful woman in distress. But it turns out her irritating ex is on the rival Colorado team. With the NHL season starting, they need a solid plan. And what could be more logical than a fake relationship?

The rules are simple: Date publicly for a month, convince her ex it's over, then walk away clean.

Gabe's already falling—hard. When their "for show" chemistry ignites into something real, their no-strings agreement starts looking like the worst idea he's ever had.
