Description

Emma can't fall for a player.

But Tyler's game is proving difficult to ignore.

Fate takes a slap shot at Emma's heart when she finds a driver's license outside a grocery store belonging to none other than Tyler Bowen. The center for her brother's hockey team with looks that scream plenty of scoring off the ice.

Her overprotective brother warns her to stay away, but after a particularly patronizing comment, Emma decides to break free from the defense. Sean has always tried to control her relationships, and at twenty-nine, she's had enough.

Emma convinces Tyler to mess with Sean and pretend they're in a relationship for just one night. Little does she know that Tyler has a surprise in his playbook. He needs Emma's assistance to face a formidable opponent: his father, the ultimate player of hearts.

It was supposed to be all fun and games, but when the photography studio Emma works for is sold unexpectedly and Tyler's dad offers her a job, she realizes she may have glided too far into enemy territory.

In 'Against the Boards, ' the stakes are higher than a sudden-death overtime.

Can Emma deliver the ultimate power play and skate away unscathed, or will love prove to be the most unpredictable game of all?
