Hailey Taylor Emery has a hunch that Sniper87, her favourite client at Fetch - the anonymous virtual assistant service she runs with her ex-husband - is actually gorgeous hockey superstar Matt Erikson. It's against the rules to check his file, but she's pretty sure she spends every day texting her lifelong crush and catering to his every need. Still processing her recent divorce, Hailey is perfectly content for this to be nothing but harmless online flirting... until Sniper87 wants to meet her. Face-to-face. Cue: utter panic. Matt Eriksson is no stranger to heartbreak. He's still not over the destruction of his own marriage, and it sucks to be the only guy on his team who knows the truth: that hockey and long-term relationships are a toxic mix.

The only person in his life who seems to understand is someone who won't show her pretty face: the mysterious HTE, aka "Hottie." Surely, though, it's nothing a pair of fourth-row hockey seats can't fix. Superfan Hailey can't resist the offer, and Matt can't resist Hailey. But when the phone screens come down, can they get past their baggage long enough to build something real?
