He never lets anyone see him hurting. She's trained to spot it.
Jamie Montour captains the Buffalo Outlaws, and every teammate leans on him. He hasn't touched a drink since the night he almost lost his son, and lacrosse has been his medicine ever since. But no game has ever eased the guilt. Now he watches his teenager test every limit, knowing how fast one bad night can take everything.
City-raised and still finding her place on the Six Nations reserve, Dr. Paige Bomberry is the first woman to run the Outlaws' training room. She'd do anything for her players, but her heart stays off-limits. The team's no-dating policy suits her just fine. So does the promise she made watching her father white-knuckle his way to sobriety: never love a man with a bottle in his past.
When a blindside hit knocks Jamie out of the lineup, his comeback runs straight through Paige's treatment table. His body tells her everything he won't. Soon he can't hide anything from her, not even how badly he wants her.
With his playing days numbered and his son slipping further out of reach, Jamie gets closer to the edge than he's been in years. Paige catches every warning sign, and each one feels familiar. Loving him in secret could cost her the career she fought for. Can she trust him with everything she's built, and can he trust her with everything he's hiding?
This forbidden, athlete-and-trainer romance weaves together Indigenous culture with professional lacrosse. Expect found family, plenty of spice, sobriety rep written with care, and a single dad who learns he's worth fighting for. Read it as a standalone, or continue on with the Medicine Game series once Jamie and Paige get their HEA.
