Why these tropes fit

College junior and hockey star John Logan, who hides despair over the dead-end future awaiting him after graduation, pursues Grace Ivers after a thoughtless mistake ended their prior hook-up. Grace returns to Briar as a wiser, more confident sophomore who refuses to be another of Logan's puck bunnies. If Logan wants a second chance, he must earn it on her terms—with her in the driver's seat.
