When you're a struggling hairstylist fired for refusing a cut and the man of every woman’s dreams walks in the door…

When Erin gets Lia fired for refusing to give Penelope a haircut against her will, Nate is ridden with guilt and gratitude for protecting his daughter. He extends an invitation to a simple thank-you dinner. But what begins as a gesture of gratitude transforms into a media-fueled scandal, jeopardizing Nate's chances of securing custody. Determined to win on and off the ice, Nate proposes an audacious plan to Lia: a fake engagement to sway the court.
