His former team is on track to win the 2003 Stanley Cup Championship without him, and preparations are being made for a victory party at the bar.
Enter Avery Brooks.
She’s the straitlaced event planner hired to arrange the party, thanks to her father's connections.
Her father who just happens to be the General Manager for the NJ Devils…
and the guy who handed Zac his walking papers four years ago.
Suddenly, Avery finds herself face-to-face with her teenage crush.
The two had a minor flirtation going on back in the day, when Zac was just an arrogant, womanizing rookie and Avery was a naive, starry-eyed fan.
Their chemistry is undeniable, but both are completely different people than they were all those years ago.
In order for this fiery Devil to melt the heart of an ice princess, Zac will need to up his game.
All he needs to do is relearn everything he ever thought he knew about how to play.

REVIEW BY:Erin
This was a great story about misunderstanding and forgiveness. The character development was very in depth. Provided a great opportunity to bond with them. I like that the author gave clear timelines as the story progressed so it didn't feel like everything happened so fast. I especially liked that the first half was Avery's POV and the second half was Zac's. Not a lot of repeating. There were some surprising touches of humor as well. This is a new to me author and I am excited to try more!
Avery has been around hockey players her whole life. She knows what playboys they can be. So when she meets Zac "Maniac" McAllister, she immediately puts him in the friend zone. After 3 years, she decides to take a chance.
Zac gets traded to Dallas after one of the best nights of his life. He suspects Avery had something to do with it. He gets injured before his first season with the new team is over. 4 years later he is still bitter and back in Jersey running his fathers bar, when Avery strolls back in to his life. Is this his chance to make everything right and try again? All he knows for sure is that she is the only person who makes him feel again.
4 Stars
