| Being transferred to the Seattle Storms is a blessing for A.J. Charbonneau. It's a chance to get away from a love scandal, a chance to play good hockey, and his opportunity to compete for the starting goalie's position. A.J.'s life's dream is to be the starting goalie, and this time nothing is going to stand in A.J. "Tinman" Charbonneau's way. What he doesn't expect is the Storms to welcome him with open arms and to form friendships. "The Tinman" usually turns away from making friends on the team; after all, being personal can get in the way of your career choices.
Jamie MacMaster has had her share of heartache and turmoil, but her job has always been smooth sailing. Her twin brother, Jeff, is a player for the Storms, and she is a member of the Training staff. They live, work, and travel together. So, when A.J. becomes Jeff's best friend, Jamie now has a hard time keeping her distance from the "boys" on the team - mainly A.J. - and it could endanger her life. With A.J. and Jamie's undeniably growing attraction, can they overcome their past and misgivings to forge a future? Can they fight for each other against a common enemy… even if it means death? Ms. Daniel brings the life of a hockey player alive! The inner workings, the team friendships, and the extended family leap off the pages. A.J. and Jamie each have their own difficulties in letting others know how they feel, but sometimes in life you have to take a leap of faith and trust the one you are meant to love. This is a fast-paced and emotionally gripping story. Definitely a Must Read!
