Book Overview
In Boston, hockey is a religion--he's a god, and she's not sure what she's supposed to believe in.
Eloise Davies is broke as a joke that wasn't funny the first time. Since leaving her job as a bench chemist, Eloise has pursued her dream in private investigation, all the while struggling to actually get anywhere. Her last-ditch effort is a case with the Boston Bruins, whose most promising recruit may have a darker past than a bright future. To get close to him and whatever he's hiding, Eloise will go undercover--that is, if she can get past the captain first.
Jacques Lavesque's picture-perfect image is starting to crack around the edges. He's in the middle of a contentious--but secret--separation from his wife, and on the cusp of what could be the most important hockey season of his career thanks to a closed-off rookie and the return of a controversial teammate. He is at an unfamiliar impasse, especially when it comes to the guilt-ridden allure of Eloise the intern. There's something about her that he just can't shake, and maybe doesn't want to shake.
As Jacques and Eloise circle each other--delicately, warily, but nevertheless magnetically--they will peel back layers of themselves to the people they want to be. But before they can get to those deeply-rooted hopes, they'll have to survive the emotional impact of this season--and all the secrets that come with it.
