Why these tropes fit
Senior year, Ryleigh Vento is determined to land a spot on a Division 1 women's ice hockey team as a goalie and refuses to let anything distract her. When Jett Robitaille, the school's new hockey star, recruits her for a fake-girlfriend scheme aimed at making Ryleigh's nemesis jealous, she initially shuts him down. Jett counters with a deal: he will personally train and push her so she can become the best goalie in the league. As the season progresses and they grow closer, Ryleigh must weigh whether letting Jett in strengthens her game or risks the future she's worked for, with her heart proving the hardest save of all.
