Synopsis

Grayson Crawford, a professional hockey player, is coming apart after a death in his family. His behaviour is putting his career and his place on the team at risk. To repair his reputation and show he can change, he agrees to a staged PR relationship, and he wants only one woman for the part.

That woman is Bella Stratford, his personal assistant. She took the job only recently, to cover her mother's medical bills, and she already spends her days fixing Grayson's messes and keeping puck bunnies away from him. She also keeps her heart closed, because experience has taught her not to trust men.

When her mother's health worsens, Bella sees pretending to be Grayson's girlfriend as her last workable option. In public the two play a devoted couple without a flaw. In private the rules they set for themselves start to slip.

Grayson turns out to be shy and gentle, not the man Bella expected, and she turns out to be guarded and caring, with no one looking out for her. In this fake-relationship romance set around hockey, the question is whether a deal made for appearances can mend two people who are each carrying a loss.
