About the book: year / Iris Relera has always been content with little in life - a self-centered ex, neglectful parents and a past that continues to haunt her. One night, on another broken evening, a mysterious knight in shining armor—or, to be more realistic, a knight in hockey shoulder pads—rescues her from too many shots of tequila. Hayes Hollings's checkered past refuses to be left behind, and his mistakes become even worse catastrophic when reported to the entire world. Being disgraced by an NHL player is harmful to his personal life and reputation. Determined to earn the public's favor, Haze devises a devious plan to change his image as a loving boyfriend. Iris is self-aware enough to recognize that she is not destined for what love has to offer, but when Haze rewrites her plans, she finds herself embroiled in an internal battle in which she must choose between giving love a chance or keeping her distance from the Riverside Reapers' biggest playboy. Hayes may seem like the perfect guy to help Iris learn to love again, but little does she know, he's hiding a secret big enough to ruin her completely. Can love triumph between two polar opposites, or will a fatal lie tear them apart??
