James "Bucky" Barnes is at the height of his career as an offensive lineman for the NYC avengers hockey team. At 35 years old, he's playing hard in and out of the rink. After a big win, he and the boys hit their local haunt where he runs into Isabella Wood. Isabella Janae Wood has just retired from her Olympic career as a figure skater after an injury and she's not sure what comes next. She moves to NYC to live with her best friend and take a job coaching young kids at the local rink.

When Isabella dishes out the first rejection Bucky has been dealt since he was drafted, and finds out she's now forced to cohabitate a rink with the cocky player, will she be able to resist?
