Pro hockey and girls go together. He hates that. Stephan Sagamore doesn't quite know how he got here: standing in front of a small ballet studio, one of the best defensemen in the NHL, crushing on the girl that teaches his sister how to dance. But if there's one thing that she can't know about him, it's what he does for work.

That is, until a fiery girl joins her elites class and her dorky older brother turns out to be the sweetest engineer she's ever met. *** "I don't really believe in fate but I believe in her and I think that's close enough." *** WARNING: Strong language, drinking, sexual content
