Moments after finding out she is pregnant to her summer boyfriend Caroline Mills (Nicole Mattox), runs into her boyfriend, Easton Black's (Seth Edeen) mum, Dolores Black (Nicole Provonsil), who forces her to breakup with Easton to ensure he doesn't give up his dreams of being a NHL player, breaking his heart into pieces by kissing her ex boyfriend Mark (Lukas Silva) in front of him. 7 years later, Easton returns to play as captain for the LA Vipers as a NHL legend, only to find Caroline isn't living the life he would have expected, instead she is working as a janitor at the local ice hockey rink, oh and that she has had a daughter Hailey (Ellison Pipe), little does he know Hailey is his daughter.
Trying to earn money to raise her daughter, Caroline puts up with constant abuse and belittlement from the daughter of the hockey coach, Lucinda (Lexi Collins). Lucinda is adamant that Easton will be hers, but Easton cannot deny he still has feelings for Caroline, hiring her as his assistant which leads them on a path of rekindling their old flame and eventually back together.
Nicole Mattox is fantastic as Caroline Mills, in her breakout role, she perfectly encapsulated the caring and protective mother who would do anything for her daughter. Having Caroline put her own feelings and wants aside to ensure a stable and secure home. Nicole is amazing with her portrayal of raw emotion and I am so glad she was chosen for this role to launch her career forward.
Seth Edeen, as Easton Black is great, his ability to portray the strong willed hockey captain as well as the kind and supportive partner and eventual dad. Some of my favourite scenes of Easton from this series are his interaction with Hailey and how much his eyes shine when they are making Caroline breakfast together.
