After Elle Townsend is dumped by her hockey star boyfriend Christian Riley on the eve of the championship playoffs, she devises a plan for sweet revenge—a fake romance with Christian's arch-rival.
Preston Lawrence takes his hockey career very seriously because brawling on the ice is the only thing he's good at. With the championship trophy and his contract extension on the line, he needs to figure out a way to control his temper that always flares and gets him ejected whenever he faces his rival.
So, when a heartbroken blonde asks Preston for a photo with him to try to make Christian jealous, he raises the stakes. Known for avoiding the spotlight, Preston kisses Elle in front of a crowd of sports reporters, certain the video will go viral.
Their 'fake' kiss felt a little too real for Elle and Preston. It looks real to Christian too, who goes ballistic when he sees Elle in the stands wearing Preston's jersey, and holding up a sign that insults the size of Christian's 'stick.'
Infuriating Christian helps Preston keep his head in the game so his team could win game one of four. That's why he suggests to Elle that they keep up their charade through the championships.
Christian and Preston have a complicated history. Their rivalry intensifies further when they begin to fight over Elle.
As Elle and Preston grow closer, secrets unravel, causing Elle to question if Preston's feelings are genuine or just a part of his revenge plot against Christian.
Will Preston be able to convince Elle that his feelings for her are real, or will Christian find a way to win her back?
