Stella Graham wants nothing to do with hockey, or the loudmouthed, insufferable Dean Di Laurentis who lives for this sport. But when a teammate bets Dean he can't make the "crazy," cold-hearted cousin fall for him, Dean takes the challenge. Slowly, Stella's walls crumble. For the first time in years, she laughs. She smiles. She actually believes she might be worthy of love. But it was all just a bet, right?
