Score with the curvy girl who lives in the apartment above me who disliked me from the first moment we met? Not a chance. Accidentally make her sexy online alter-ego fall in love with me? It turns out, fate was on my side this whole time.

When I was traded to the NHL's newest expansion team, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself, and I didn't put my best foot forward when an errant dog dragged me across Kiley Forge's path. I've been trying to make up for that embarrassing first meeting ever since.

And since I've sworn off online dating to repair my image in this new city, I don't think twice about bonding with a stranger over restaurant reviews and travel plans. But before I know it, we're sexting and sharing secrets, and I'm head over heels for my online friend and my neighbour.

It takes me far too long to connect the dots that the hot girl I've friended online is the same hot girl who gets a rise out of me in person-in more ways than one. But finding out they're one woman should make everything easy, right? Wrong.

Because now it's hockey's off-season, also known as wedding season, and she doesn't want anyone to know we're hooking up. So I need to prove to her that it's not going to lead to breaking up-ever.

She's my girl for life. .
