While she's saving lives in the ER, he's on the ice fighting to keep his personal life from sinking his career.
Gracie Bennett has a passion for helping people, and as an overworked ER doctor, she's dedicated her entire life to making sure everyone has the best chance of survival--except for her own love life. Doomed to a pattern of hooking up with meatheads for nothing but sex, she finds her life lacking luster even with a job she adores.
Sam Finnley, a hockey player who's dealt with the challenge of a stutter, had it all. A spot on an NHL team, a wife, a beautiful daughter. But when his marriage crumbles, he's left trying to keep all the pieces together while keeping his spot on the roster. Divorce was never part of his plan, and when he's faced with trying to rebuild his life after leaving his toxic ex-wife, everything is more complicated than it seems.
When they cross paths at a volunteer event that neither of them had planned on being at, they're shocked to find their wildly different worlds overlap in such powerful ways. Try as they might to undermine the power of love and true feelings, they embark on a journey to learn, heal and love together--one hospital and hockey shift at a time.
