I’m supposed to fix his body, not let him wreck my life.
As the new athletic trainer for the Sterling Falls Sentinels, I have one job: keep the university’s most valuable assets on the ice. But Kaelan ‘Kael’ Ryker—the team’s brooding, brutal captain—is a walking injury report and a reckless menace. He’s everything I despise in an athlete: arrogant, aggressive, and infuriatingly gorgeous.
He thinks I’m a problem. I think he’s a case study in self-destruction.
But a captain’s hidden injury and a coach’s ultimatum force us together, trapping us in a crucible of forbidden, clinical intimacy. His icy glares are turning into smoldering looks. My professional resolve is melting under his rough, calloused hands. Every stolen moment is a violation of the rules, every whispered word a promise of the filthy things to come.
He’s the one man I can’t have, the one player who could cost me everything. And I’m the one woman who has seen the broken man beneath the beast.
He’s determined to protect his team. I’m determined to protect my heart. But when he finally drops the gloves, who will protect me from him?
