As the starting goalie for a professional hockey team, I should be oozing confidence and swagger. Too bad I'm as awkward as they come.

Things go from bad to worse when I want my teammates' help to set me up. Especially when the team's general manager is there to witness the train wreck of a date.

Until she proposes dating lessons . . . mutual dating lessons. How can the most confident, self-assured woman need my help?

What starts off simple and uncomplicated quickly turns into more. A lot more. She's supposed to be helping me with other women. But the more time I spend with Bexley, the more I want her. Only her.

We can't be together. She's my general manager. More than a decade older than me. There's no way this can work. Except it does.

When everything goes sideways, will the two of us find a way to make it work?

I can only hope the outside world won't crush the best thing I have going for me.
