After being unexpectedly fired from her executive chef position in Las Vegas, she’s willing to take a chance on a lead that sends her clear across the country to Washington, D.C. One interview with Hudson, and everything falls into place. He’s kind, charming and entirely too easy to like. Soon, Madeline and her young daughter, Lucy, are unpacking boxes in his guest room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rules are straightforward: keep things professional. No personal entanglements. No falling for the handsome hockey player who makes her laugh in the middle of meal prep, or who seems to adore her daughter just as much as she does.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when a New Year’s Eve kiss shatters the careful boundaries between them, everything shifts.
