In this steamy hockey romance, an extrovert NHL player with secret feelings coaches his shy best friend in dating-from the viral TikTok author of Behind the Net and The Fake Out. Shy, newly single Darcy Andersen needs to gain confidence in relationships, and who´s going to help her? Hayden Owens-the hottest defenseman in pro hockey, her outgoing best friend, and her new dating coach. Hayden teaches her the art of being a player, but convinces her to practice with him. They´ve been friends for years, but their flirting lessons and practice kisses push the bounds of friendship. They´re roommates but sleeping in the same bed. He buys her a toy as a favor . . . but helps her use it. All that relationship stuff Hayden´s always avoided? He doesn´t seem to mind it anymore. Rule number one of being a player is no attachments, but when Hayden sees her picking up other guys, he´s jealous enough that Darcy wonders . . . maybe her wingman´s been waiting for her all along.
