description: Im Evan Mason. NHL hockey player for the Chicago Blackhawks.I spend my nights roughing up two hundred pound defensemen and at times spend more time in the penalty box than I do on the ice.Thats my job.One night changes everything I thought I knew about my life on and off the ice.A girl. Helpless. Brutally beaten and left for dead in an alley.I cant just leave her there so I take her to the hospital. But the moment I try to leave something inside me roots me in place.A need to know her.So in a room full of family members praying for their loved ones to pull through I pray for a girl I dont know to have a beating heart.What I never saw coming?The day she opens her eyes. Beautiful innocent witty Im drawn to her. Desperate to be near her.I find myself rearranging my life and obsessed with finding the one who did this to her.I question my sanity my friends and everything I thought I knew including my attachment to her.Chicago has nearly three million people in it.Why her?
