One desperate lie. One unexpected family.
Mikko Laaksonen is the NHL's best defenseman and a brand new dad, trying to balance hockey and fatherhood. When a panic attack threatens his season, he makes a desperate decision to save his career.
Shannon Wilder has spent years working towards becoming a speech pathologist and leaving her hometown behind. With a job waiting in Denver, she's finally getting the fresh start she's always wanted.
Until Mikko admits he told the team they're married.
Shannon should walk away. Instead, she's drawn to his daughter who needs stability and the single dad trying his hardest to get it right.
What starts as a favor quickly becomes something far more complicated. Helping his daughter was one thing, but falling for her husband?
That was never supposed to happen.
