Audrey has a problem. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed, handsome... charming...hockey player problem. Will says he wants to keep it casual, but every time he's near her, his actions betray him. She can't figure him out... or what they are. And he won't let her. Winning is everything to Will...on the ice, in the spotlight, in life...and love doesn't fit into his game plan. But neither does Audrey. Every moment, every heated argument, every soft touch, and shared haze between them pulls them closer, even as their past and their doubts threaten to push them apart. Audrey knows she can't ignore the fire between them, but trusting him not to hurt her might be the hardest game she's ever played. Does she walk away, or risk it all for a chance at the love she's been chasing...without knowing if he's ready to commit?

Erin Stait arrives at Boston College expecting to find a fresh start, a sorority, and a place to belong. She never expects to meet Will Smith. When a photography assignment lands her with the men's hockey team, one awkward introduction (and an accidental nickname of Tall Hockey Guy) sparks an unexpected friendship that slowly grows into something neither of them planned. From fraternity parties and Beanpot rivalries to graduation and the bright lights of the NHL, this is a heartwarming story about first love, found family, chasing dreams, and discovering that home isn't always a place, sometimes it's the person standing beside you.
