Vanessa Rubio has more interest in a career-ending injury than she does in falling in love. At least your body gives you an explainable reason for slipping away, because she has learned the hard way that love does not. Unfortunately for her, Dean Di Laurentis was inevitable. With her father being the assistant coach of his hockey team, she sees enough of him as is. Of course it was going to be her turn to be on the receiving end of his oh-so charming smile one day. With an Olympic dream, she already had a lot stacked against her. The last thing she needed to add was 250 lbs of muscle in the form of a blonde hockey player- 350 lbs if you count the girl that was probably on top of him as we speak. But their frequent encounters and his persistence has her a little more invested than she originally intended... and now she's keeping secrets from her friends. Vanessa finds herself in an awkward position (literally and figuratively). Dean Di Laurentis finds himself with a crush (at least he thinks, he's new to this). But are they willing to abandon their old ways for a shot at love? The better question is, are they able to? s1-tbd
