My name is Poppy St. James and I've just landed my dream job as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL's hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays.

But if I want to stay beyond my one-year contract, I'll have to prove myself.

Easy. PR is in my blood. What's not so easy are the hockey players.

They're a real handful - especially party boy defenseman Lukas Novikov.

I don't care how well Lucas plays hockey. Off the ice, he's a PR nightmare. The players can all call me PR Barbie all they want, but I'm getting the job done.

I am poised, powerful, and always professional . . . until the fateful night my phone rings.
