A college girl who doesn’t follow hockey sits in the wrong seat at a Thursday night game and ends up next to the star winger’s mom. His mom loves her immediately. He’s annoyed, then curious, then in trouble. She transferred junior year to start over from something she doesn’t talk about. He’s got a pro contract offer sitting unopened in his email and no idea what he actually wants. They keep ending up in the same place and they’re both too messy to pretend it isn’t becoming something. He’s a gentleman who teases her relentlessly and she’s the first person who’s never been impressed by him—and that’s exactly the problem.
