Evie Burns is confident, independent, and driven. After recently graduating college and moving on from her cheating ex of two years, she is ready to finally find Mr. Right. But after countless bad dates, she is preparing to swear dating off for good, now focusing on finding someone who can give her the perfect night.

Nathaniel Carrington is meticulous in everything he does, striving on routine and structure. Being the head coach of one of the leading teams in the NHL takes extreme discipline, which he practices in all aspects of his life. But he finds his control wavering as he hijacks the worst first date he's ever seen. He was supposed to be getting a drink alone to celebrate finalizing his long-awaited divorce, not accepting a challenge from the stunning blue-eyed vixen to make her night one to remember.

When an enchanting night comes to an end, they attempt to move on, merely dreaming of what might've been. But when Evie joins her parents at her younger brother's hockey game, number seventy-two isn't the only familiar face on the Nighthawks bench.
