Karen Webber is in small-town hell. After her mother's death, she moved to Corrigan Falls to live with strangers-her dad and his perfect, shiny new family-and there doesn't seem to be room for a city girl with a chip on her shoulder. The only person who makes her feel like a real human being is Tyler MacDonald.
But Karen isn't interested in starting something with a player. And that's all she keeps hearing about Tyler.
Corrigan Falls is a hockey town, and Tyler's the star player. But the viselike pressure from his father and his agent are sending him dangerously close to the edge. All people see is hockey-except Karen. Now they've managed to find something in each other that they both desperately need. And for the first time, Tyler is playing for keeps . . .
The hometown hockey hero won't know what hit him . . .
