Kailey Henderson dealt in code. Well, code, social anxiety, and online gaming. What she didn't deal in was sexy hockey players. And she certainly didn't deal in sexy hockey players like Connor Smith. He was brass. He was loud. He was funny and charming and...ballsy. Kailey was about the furthest thing from ballsy someone could find. Connor didn't seem to care. From the moment she'd showed up at the rink to help her friend set up a player development program for the Baltimore Breakers, he had led a campaign to win her heart. The thing was, Kailey didn't actually want her heart to be won, and the more Connor campaigned, the more she resisted. And...the more she resisted and argued and pushed back, the more she found out that she actually could be ballsy. And the worst thing about that? It made Connor campaign even harder.

I know I can do it. I will make my dad proud, and no one will stand in the way of that. That is, until I let him in. He scares me. He makes me feel. And he could very well be the one person who can make me want more than just to win. We both have the same goal. Victory. But how do you compete against the person you want to win? It's not easy.
