When hockey-loving sports journalist Emma Dawson is assigned to cover the comeback of Jake "The Tank" Thornton, she expects drama-but not this kind of drama. Jake, the NHL's infamous bad boy, is fighting to rebuild his career after a scandal and a year-long suspension, while Emma, still haunted by her father's death, is determined to stay professional and get the story.
What she doesn't expect is to uncover a side of Jake no one else sees-a man fighting his demons with grit, charm, and a surprising vulnerability. Sparks fly as their guarded worlds collide, but with the media circling and past mistakes threatening to resurface, Emma and Jake face the ultimate question: can they risk everything for a shot at love, or will their ambitions keep them apart?
Fast-paced, emotional, and full of heart, this is a tale of redemption, love, and second chances both on and off the ice.
