Sparks fly on and off the ice when a near carbon copy of the man who broke Ally's heart in college skates into her adult life.
Ally's been hurt before and she's not about to let herself be hurt again. Especially not by another preppy, privileged, "Harvard man." Been there, done that, got the t-shirt-and the PTSD. So when Ted skates onto her ice and into her life, Ally's ready for him-armed with her trusty therapist, the support of her friends, and a gut instinct for Ted's particular type of trouble. Only, all three-her therapist, her friends, and her own body-seem to be suggesting that there's more to this man than meets the eye. And maybe, just maybe, she should trust him-or at least try...
Ted's not proud of the person he was in college or the people he once called his friends. But he's worked hard to change himself-to be a better man-and if his new teammate can't see past a stereotype, that's her problem. Except, it's Ted's problem, too. And not just because they're on the same club ice-hockey team, or because they work for the same tech company. But because, for some utterly nonsensical, ineffable reason, Ted likes Ally. He wants to know what makes her tick, and why she hates him, and whether she'll ever abandon her pride-and her prejudice-and give in to the passion that he knows he's not alone in feeling, the passion that blazes between them.
Can Ally trust Ted to be a better man than the one who broke her heart and left her psyche scarred? Can she trust herself to take a risk, to let someone in, to allow herself to live-and maybe even to love-again?
