Professional matchmaker, Serena Rafferty, has dedicated her career to finding love for others, but this time, love—in the form of a six-foot-six pro hockey player—is finding her.

Bates Finnegan, leading forward for the Saint Paul Sinners, has been obsessed with his coach’s daughter since they first met last fall. Being a goody-two-shoes, she refuses his pursuits, so he takes a step back, ready to play the long game.

After months of running off her suitors, infiltrating every aspect of her life, and waiting for her favorite holiday to come around, he’s not holding back. When Serena discovers handmade valentines and presents at her door, she begins falling for her secret admirer, who’s stopping at nothing to gain her affection, including becoming the best secret-dog-dad to her mini dachshund, Freddie.

Soon, presents begin showing up inside her house, her chores magically complete, and her car somehow starts on cold, wintry mornings. Boundaries vanish completely as Serena and Bates get swept up in their intense dynamic.

Will Serena find the love she’s always dreamed of in the arms of a forbidden masked man hellbent on never letting her go?
