Grady Porcher is good. Compare him to other centers in the league, and he'd probably crack the top ten in any given season. His biggest flaw? He has a real knack for finding trouble. That's how he went from being drafted by a big New York team to playing for Vancouver-and how that same team did everything they could to dump him. So now you've got a guy pushing twenty-five, trying to redeem himself in one of the sport's holy grails: Toronto. How exactly did he land there? It's not exactly a well-kept secret. His dad, Matthew Porcher, has serious pull in the league. Then there's Celine Lancaster. She's the daughter of the Toronto Monarchs' head of communications-or, more accurately, the woman who single-handedly turned the Monarchs into the most marketable franchise in the league over the last seven years. Celine grew up surrounded by executives, sponsors, and star players. She knows how pro hockey works, even if she's never laced up a pair of skates. Elegant, smart, and painfully aware of how fast the press can tear someone apart, she steers clear of guys like Grady Porcher at all costs. The problem? Toronto decided to take a chance on him. And now Celine has to work with the most problematic player to come through the organization in years.
