Reid Vale has one season left to prove he still belongs in pro hockey. Then his knee gives out-and the woman who can put him back on the ice is the one person he can't afford to want.
Dr. Rowan Keene came to Port Meridian to make clean decisions. Four years ago, she cleared an eighteen-year-old too soon. She won't make that mistake again. Reid wants a timeline. Rowan gives him rules: tell the truth, do the work, and no blades until she says so.
Weeks of rehab turn suspicion into trust, and trust into an attraction neither can act on while Rowan controls his clearance. The only ethical way forward may be for her to give up his file.
But with scouts watching and the front office selling Reid's comeback, surrendering authority doesn't erase the stakes-or the consequences of one bad decision.
A slow-burn minor-league hockey romance about ambition, consent, and choosing the person over the power.
