So when he decides to volunteer his time at a group home for kids, a cause so close to his heart. He meets Carrie and an unexpected friendship strikes up. He likes the fact that Carrie doesn't care who he is and what he does for living. All she cares about is that the kids are getting the experience of a life time being mentored by a person who seems to have his head screwed on right. Carrie Conners is your typical girl. Growing up with a mother who has high expectations for her daughters was not easy. While her younger sister has met all of those expectations being blonde, skinny and a highly successful influencer who just snagged a rich, handsome husband. Carrie is the complete opposite, brunette, curvy and works as a social worker for the state. She first meets Alex when he comes to volunteer at one of the group homes and is unsure of his motives for doing so. She watches as all the women gravitate towards him and watches from the sidelines as usual. However Alex sees her caring, kind way with the kids and is drawn to that immediately. Can these two people from entirely different worlds navigate a friendship that one or both want it to turn into more. Or will being from different worlds completely break them apart?

Evan Donaldson is the son of Jeff Donaldson and Merideth Donaldson. Jeff is a former member of the Boston Bruins and best friend of Ryan Anderson. Evan followed in his dad's foot steps and at 23 is in the prime of his career. He is one of the NHL's top Defencemen and as been playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs for the last 3 seasons. Hayley Maddison is a smart, sassy and determined young woman. At 23, she is one of the hardest working and rising stars at her law firm. She is determined to make Junior partner by 25 and senior partner by 30 and is well on her way to doing so. Living in the city can get lonely sometimes, but luckly she lives with her best friend whom she grew up with in Boston, Evan Donaldson. They both ended up in Toronto and decided to live together in Evan's huge condo. It's the perfect arrangement, Evan is rarely home during the season and when he is they hang out, when he is not with his "flavor of the month" as Hayley calls them. There has always been an attraction on Hayley's part to Evan, but she knows he sees her only as a friend. She is hardly his type. His type you ask, blonde, thin, big breasts. You know the thropy girls. Hayley on the other hand had brown hair and curvy. She thinks that there is no chance with her best friend, but that all changes one night when she is out with Evan and his friends and she runs into her ex with his new girlfriend. Her ex sees her and flaunts his new girlfriend in her face. Evan sees this and wants to help her out and make him just as jealous. Once that happens he starts to see Hayley in a whole different way, but is it too late to claim what was right in front of him all along? Cover by: still_just_me Banner by: still_just_me
