Behind The Net

Aspiring musician Pippa Hartley has sworn off heartbreak, but her new job as a personal assistant is about to test that resolve. Her boss is none other than Jamie Streicher, the surly, intimidatingly hot hockey player she’s crushed on since high school. The only problem? He’s incredibly demanding, perpetually grouchy, and doesn't seem to have a single memory of who she is. Pippa is determined to keep things strictly professional, convinced that her teenage infatuation is firmly in the past.

However, as they spend more time together, the cracks in Jamie’s stony exterior begin to show. Beneath the surliness lies a man who is surprisingly protective and unexpectedly sweet. From posing as her fake boyfriend to make her ex jealous to encouraging her musical dreams and making her feel truly seen, Jamie begins to break down her defenses. When he discovers her past romantic disappointments, his competitive nature kicks in, leading to a tension that is anything but professional.

As the lines between assistant and lover blur, Pippa discovers the biggest secret of all: Jamie hasn't forgotten her at all. In fact, that high school crush was entirely mutual, and he’s been waiting for his chance to prove it. Pippa knows that falling for the town's most notorious grump could lead to the ultimate heartbreak, but with Jamie playing for keeps, it might just be a risk worth taking.
