Jessie is a walking hockey encyclopedia who grew up around the game her entire life. She was raised by a single father and former NHL defenseman who is now the head coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs. Jessie has returned home after completing her final semester at Boston College where she set several records in NCAA hockey. Now at a crossroads, she must decide between an uncertain future in women’s hockey or give up the sport she loves to attend medical school. When Jessie first meets Dean, she is both put off and intrigued by the polarizing young man. Jessie sees the raw talent Dean is gifted with and can’t help but feel there’s more to his explosive temper at first glance. As the attraction between them grows and true romance unfolds, Jessie disarms Dean and gets under the surface of his hard facade. She offers a path for him to channel destructive impulses and focus on winning for the TEAM — and ultimately who he is playing for. Through it all, Jessie rediscovers the courage to follow dreams of her own…
