In public, we act as besotted newlyweds, but in private, we’re at each other’s throats. He’s competitive, arrogant, and surly. The guy’s never cracked a smile in his life. He’s jealous of my ex, he glares at my high heels, and insists he’s not attracted to me. He’s only marrying me for citizenship. Fighting with Alexei is more fun than expected, though, and beneath his grouchy exterior, Alexei is surprisingly caring, protective, and generous. He cooks for me and worries about my safety.

After my ex crushed my dreams in the music industry, I’m done with getting my heart broken. Working as an assistant for an NHL player was supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about Jamie Streicher is easy. He’s an intimidatingly hot, grouchy jerk who can't stand me. The guy has a massive ego. Keeping things professional will be no problem, even when he demands I move in with him.

The best way to get back at my horrible ex? Fake date Rory Miller--my ex's rival, the top scorer in pro hockey, and the arrogant, flirtatious hockey player I tutored in high school. Faking it is fun and addictive, though, and beneath the bad boy swagger, Rory’s sweet, funny, and protective. He teaches me to skate and spends way too much money on me. He sleeps in my bed and convinces me to break my just-one-time hookup rule. He kisses me like it’s real.

The best way to gain confidence after years with the wrong guy? Hayden Owens—the hottest defenseman in pro hockey, my confident best friend, and my new dating coach. He’ll teach me to be a player, but convinces me to practice with him. We’ve been friends for years, but our flirting lessons and practice kisses push the bounds of friendship. We’re roommates, but sleeping in the same bed. He buys me a toy as a favor… but helps me use it. All that relationship stuff he’s always avoided? He doesn’t seem to mind it anymore.

Depois de ter o coração partido e o sonho de trabalhar com música dilacerado, Pippa resolveu focar numa profissão realista. Tornar-se assistente pessoal de Jamie Streicher — o goleiro de hóquei mais requisitado de Vancouver—não estava nos seus planos, mas parece um caminho certo para recuperar o controle de sua vida. Basta ser profissional, objetiva, e, acima de tudo, agir como se nunca o tivesse visto antes. Afinal, ninguém precisa saber que eles estudavam no mesmo colégio—e que ela era secretamente apaixonada por ele.

Gegen die Macht der Liebe gibt es keine Verteidigungsstrategie. Hazel ist die Physiotherapeutin der Eishockey-Mannschaft "Vancouver Storm“.

Auf Rory liegen die Hoffnungen des Trainers. Doch er befindet sich in einer Krise und zweifelt grundsätzlich an seiner Karriere. Gegen den Rivalen Connor empfindet er von Anfang an eine heftige Abneigung.

Auf dem Eis ist er der Star. Doch kann er ihr Herz zum Schmelzen bringen? Pippa hat es satt, sich das Herz brechen zu lassen. Nachdem ihr Ex auch noch ihre Musikkarriere zerstört hat, bewirbt sie sich auf die Stelle der Assistentin des Profi-Eishockeyspielers Jamie. Er ist ein mürrischer – und sehr attraktiver – Mann mit einem riesigen Ego. Und Pippas erster Schwarm aus der Highschool, der sie vollkommen vergessen zu haben scheint.
