Carla Sinclair is the likeable TV sports anchor in Vancouver. She’s driven to do the best job she can and break stories before her competition. She does this well because she knows the Warriors inside and out. When defenseman Devin Miller gets traded to Vancouver, Carla isn’t impressed. She thinks the team is doing fine without him and his attitude.
They first met when Devin was with a visiting team and Carla interviewed him. She didn’t like his cold personality and never forgot his cinnamon-colored eyes that made her stumble on her words. When Devin becomes a Warrior, Carla speaks her mind on-air about his extravagant paycheck. She wants an interview to find out more about his trade, and Devin is curious about Carla’s persistent behavior and why she cares about what team he plays for.
As the two get acquainted, their chemistry builds and she can’t quite manage the fact that falling in love again isn’t in her future. After all, she’s still hung up about her divorce and the several miscarriages she had. She doesn’t think she’ll ever settle down again or be lucky to fall in love again.
Devin is secretive about his upbringing. He hasn’t spoken to his dad in twenty-four years. He grew up in Seattle and is closer to home than he’s been for his whole NHL career. His father left his mother a single parent with a boy who desperately wanted his family back. When Carla gets an unexpected phone call from Devin’s dad asking her to help him reunite him with his son, she’s caught in the middle. Carla is vulnerable to assist in his efforts; however, Devin hasn’t opened up about his childhood and doesn’t want to. He’d rather keep to himself.
Carla arranges for a reunion after a home game, but the meeting doesn’t go according to plan and she’s in trouble with her boss. Her job is on the line, and she has to face Devin. It’s an emotional state that they both need to deal with separately. Carla is forced to deal with her past and take hold of her future, while Devin is coming to terms with his relationships.
