Ivy Reynolds has her life mapped out-college, future career, and a boyfriend she's been with long enough to feel safe. Then Will Smith walks into her world stealing her coffee, flashing a goofy smile, and somehow making her forget the rules she's always followed. He doesn't know she has a boyfriend. She doesn't know he's an NHL player. What starts as accidental encounters and awkward flirting slowly becomes something neither of them expected. But some mistakes are harder to walk away from than others...

I want you to want me again... is it desire? - Olly Alexander "They were each other's first everything. First love. First heartbreak. First person they could never forget. But distance never really erased what they had. Because some people aren't meant to be forgotten."

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?
