Zach Almardon knows the first rule of stop the puck. He can do that with his eyes closed. The second rule of don't date your teammates' sisters, or exes, or daughters. Easy. Until he meets Mackie Anderson.
Mackie Anderson knows hockey. Who wouldn't with an alternate-captain, 20-year NHL veteran for a father? But she also knows the quiet backup goalie who's been riding the bench for two years is something special.
There's just one when Zach finally works up the nerve to ask her out, he has no idea who her father is.
By the time he finds out, it's too late. He's already falling.
Now they're sneaking around, stealing moments between practices and games, pretending they're not completely obsessed with each other. Zach knows the risks—his spot on the team, his found family, everything he's worked for. Mackie knows them too.
But when a teammate's meltdown thrusts Zach into the starting position during playoffs, the pressure becomes unbearable. Add a secret relationship, a best friend who's getting suspicious, and a father who will destroy everything if he finds out?
Zach's about to learn that the hardest save of his career won't happen on the ice.
