Hazel v tom má jasno. S hokejistami nerandí. Nikdy. Mohlo by sa zdať, že jej situáciu skomplikuje práca fyzioterapeutky v profesionálnom hokejovom tíme NHL, keďže sa stará o dokonalé telá športovcov. Jedno zlomené srdce jej však stačilo a je odhodlaná kráčať za svojimi snami bez toho, aby sa s niekým zaplietla viac ako na jednu noc. Lenže keď do tímu prestúpi jej ex – idiot, ktorý ju nechce nechať na pokoji –, chytí sa posledného záchranného lana. Rory je najlepší hokejista v lige a má pre Hazel slabosť. Snaží sa preniknúť do jej srdca, ale ona ho stále odbíja. No keď mu navrhne, aby hral jej falošného priateľa, Rory sa do tejto úlohy s nadšením pustí. City však musia zostať bokom, je to predsa len pretvárka... Alebo nie je?

Ich horúca láska roztopí všetky ľady. Drobná a pôvabná Pippa vie tri veci: aké je to platonicky sa zamilovať do stredoškolskej hokejovej brankárskej hviezdy. Aké je to chodiť so speváckou celebritou a dostať od nej kopačky cez esemesku. A tiež, že si musí nájsť stabilnú prácu. Uznávaný, no panovačný Jamie cíti, že chce vo svojom živote hlavne dve veci: byť najlepším brankárom v NHL a postarať sa o svoju mamu zápasiacu s panickými atakmi. No obaja majú jednu vec spoločnú: lásku k psom. Keď sa Pippa objaví na prahu jeho dverí, aby sa mu starala o sučku Daisy, Jamieho svet vybočí z vyšliapaných chodníčkov. Jeho hlboko potláčané emócie sa začínajú drať na povrch, ale uvedomuje si, že by nemal dvakrát vstúpiť do tej istej rieky. Ibaže Pippina prítomnosť mu akosi uľahčuje život. Zrazu sa pristihne pri tom, že si ju púšťa nielen bližšie k telu, ale aj do svojej duše...
