My first year playing center for the brand-new AHL team, and things are off to a disastrous start. After losing my temper with the refs in front of a fan-filled arena, my coach devises a plan to "make me more likable.

" It's a horrible plan that isn't going to work. He wants me to pretend to date a famous singer in hopes that her fans will become my fans.

The last thing I want to do is date, pretend to date, or think about dating. Who has time for that when I have hockey games to win? When my coach forces me to pose for a publicity photo with this woman, I vow to get it over with as quickly as possible.

But she has other plans for me. With her ebony hair and mischievous smile, the unhinged female edges her way into my heart.

When the magnetism between us explodes, it's game over. Just when I think I'm ready to let Sophie melt my heart, I uncover a devastating secret that changes everything.
