When his off-ice antics lead to on-ice trouble, The Chicago Grinders give Decker Brooks an ultimatum: stay out of trouble in the off-season, or he’s off the team. So he decides to spend the summer in his tiny hometown, laying low and hanging with his childhood best friend Archer, who left the NHL after a career-ending injury. Cardinal Springs, Indiana is so boring that not even Decker Brooks can get in trouble there.
But then one bar fight and a community service sentence turn his summer—and his hockey career—upside down.
Grace has always hated her big brother’s best friend. Decker was a menace when she was a kid, and if the tabloids are to be believed, he’s a menace now. Unfortunately, he’s the menace who’s just been assigned to complete his community service at the library where Grace runs the children’s programming. And Grace, who is spending her summer trying to save the library from budget cuts, does not have time to wrangle a playboy jock who can’t keep his hands to himself.
It doesn’t take long for their reluctant partnership to turn into a no-strings-attached fling. But as the summer heats up, it’s getting harder to keep their growing feelings on ice. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking down on their relationship, and Grace and Decker will have to decide what—and who—matters most.
