New Orleans just got a new trade who is as hot on the ice as he is in real life, but he's an expert at hiding his damaged heart.
Breaking up with the love of your life the same day you sign your first NHL contract would mess with anyone's head. Turning all that hurt and anger into magic on the ice is what the Irish immigrant, Dillon, does best. He's played well for New York so is surprised to find out he was a last-minute trade to the new expansion team in New Orleans, the Cajuns. The hot humid South, he can't imagine anything worse. He grew up in Chicago and is comfortable with snow and cold. What is he supposed to do in Louisiana? At least the team made the playoffs their first year out.
But a possible career-ending injury has him sidelined after only two months into the season. The Cajuns find him the best sports physical therapist in the South. Imagine his surprise when he walks in and finds out the therapist is the girl who broke his heart. Not just broke it, but stomped on it and threw it away. She's got a lot to make up for, including the fact that he's a dad. The anger and hurt flare-up to almost unbearable levels. How can he forgive her? How does he stop loving her? Will his anger keep them from kindling the love they had and becoming a family? Can she ever overcome the guilt she feels?
