Sawyer Daniels had a plan. She'd teach at the daycare and go to class until she finished her degree. Once a week, she would bartend at the strip club, Atlantis, to earn the money she needed to break free. She just had to make it until graduation, and then, with any luck she'd be out of this mess. But one night, she meets Rex Lockwood. The hot and broody man she'd been eyeing one night at work. When one thing leads to another, she ends the night in his lap where lines between work and pleasure begin to blur. To make matters worse, he's the new university hockey coach for her brother's team. The brother she's currently refusing to speak to. Rex Lockwood never thought he'd be back in New York City, but here he is, back in the hockey world as the men's hockey coach for his old university. Now that he's back, he's promised himself that he will only do what's best for him and his daughter, not letting anyone close enough to affect her happiness. But when he meets a girl with bright blue eyes and a body made for him, he begins questioning his reasons for keeping everyone at a distance. Can they overcome these obstacles, or will they be driven further apart?
