My name is Poppy St. James and I’ve just landed my dream job as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL’s hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays.
But if I want to stay beyond my one-year contract, I'll have to prove myself.
Easy. PR is in my blood. What’s not so easy are the hockey players.
They’re a real handful – especially party boy defenseman Lukas Novikov.

I don't care how well Lucas plays hockey. Off the ice, he's a PR nightmare. The players can all call me PR Barbie all they want, but I'm getting the job done.
I am poised, powerful, and always professional . . . until the fateful night my phone rings.

One little phone call from home that leads to one drunken mistake, and my carefully balanced life is knocked off-kilter. Now I'm staring down at a little blue plus sign and I have no strategy, no idea what’s next.
All I know is that nothing will ever be the same.
