Winterpeg, or as the locals call it, Winnipeg. For a SoCal girl like Lauren, it was like being in the middle of nowhere but for Josh, her father and the head coach of the NHL's Winnipeg Rockies, it was the epitome of success. Standing behind the home net, Lauren wondered why they had to move there, until she met him. Enter Sawyer. Handsome, mysterious, and the Rockies' team captain. Standing beside her, he couldn't tear his attention away, until it was time to hit the ice. He knew he had to win the game, make it special for the girl he didn't know, but was completely smitten by. Torn between doing the right thing and what their hearts want, Benched brings you a story of heartbreak and love. What you want most isn't always what you can have.
