Jax Monroe has built his reputation on never backing down.
As one of the Northbridge Devils' most talented hockey players, he's fearless under pressure, impossible to intimidate, and always ready for the next fight. But behind the confidence lies a painful secret. Playing through injuries and refusing to show weakness have become second nature, even if every shift brings him closer to losing the game he loves.
Dr. Sasha Ibe refuses to let that happen.
Brilliant, relentless, and fiercely committed to protecting her athletes, the Devils' athletic trainer has no patience for arrogant players who believe they're invincible. After tragedy changed her life forever, she's made one promise to herself: no championship is worth another broken future.
Their first meeting is a disaster.
He challenges every decision she makes.
She refuses to let him break the rules.
Every argument fuels undeniable chemistry, every confrontation pushes them closer, and every moment together chips away at the walls they've spent years building around their hearts.
As buried grief, career-threatening injuries, and impossible choices force them to rely on each other, Jax and Sasha discover that the greatest risk isn't losing a season... it's letting someone close enough to change your life forever.
Because sometimes the person standing in your way is the only one capable of saving you.
Filled with unforgettable chemistry, witty banter, emotional depth, and exhilarating college hockey action, Off Guard is a powerful contemporary romance about healing, trust, resilience, and discovering that love often arrives when your defenses are strongest.
