Brett needs a physical therapist.

Penny needs a place to crash.

When Brett's hockey dreams slide onto thin ice after a nasty ACL tear last season, he's left clutching the boards. Used to relying on physical hustle to keep his past addiction demons at bay, he's desperate to get back in the game. But with physical therapy slots filling up faster than a slapshot, he's on the verge of being shut out.

Penny, a top-shelf physical therapist, is fresh off a break-up with her chiropractor boyfriend and is now left without a job or a home base. Then Brett, a random hockey player who plays on the same team as her friend’s boyfriend, texts about potential PT openings. She wants to help but can’t see past her own dumpster fire of a life.

Until Brett mentions his roommate Tyler just moved out and he has an extra room.

The game plan?

Penny moves in, trading her top-tier PT skills for rent. The perfect breakaway deal.

But living together without crossing the goal line is more difficult than either of them planned. Penny can’t afford a rebound with a hockey player, and Brett can’t screw things up with the only physical therapist available over the summer. But with chemistry hotter than a Zamboni's exhaust, will they be able to keep their relationship in the neutral zone?

If you love witty banter, roommates to lovers, and the one bed trope, you'll adore this hockey rom com!
