Young, goof-off goalie, Wade Boehner, can't stop thinking about the one-night-stand he had last summer with Gabe Finch, the NHL sportscaster who hates him, but when her cheating ex-fiancé harasses her at a club, he steps in and pretends to be her boyfriend. The exchange goes public, and their PR teams agree that having Wade and Gabe fake-date is mutually beneficial for both the hockey franchise and the sports network. Over the next four months, forced proximity has Gabe Finch wondering if he is truly the brainless, playboy athlete he makes himself out to be, and whether she actually hates him.
