Professional hockey player, Nick Sadler, has built his whole life around winning a championship. At the age of thirty-four, he’s running out of time. A knee injury has sidelined him for most of the season, but now that he’s cleared to play, he needs a Strength and Conditioning coach willing to work overtime to get him back in game shape for the playoffs.

Single mom and S&C coach, Alex Dumont, learned the hard way that she could only ever count on herself when her parents threw her out for getting pregnant at seventeen. It’s taken years, but she’s finally at a place where she feels settled. Enter Nick.

Even though his get-back-in-the-lineup timeline is ridiculous, Alex decides to take him on as a client. The only problem is, she's starting to have feelings for Nick and it soon becomes apparent the feelings are mutual—and undeniable. But when unexpected changes mean a major shift in priorities, Nick and Alex have to decide if the futures they’d laid out for themselves are really what they want after all.
