Synopsis

I should’ve known sleeping with my best friend’s little sister would ruin me. I’m the captain of the Toronto Titans with a shattered knee and a desperate need to disappear and rehab in peace. Then Hazel Sampson crashes back into my life, and I hire her to build my private recovery retreat. She’s still the same irresistible hellcat I couldn’t forget, and somewhere between frenzied nights tangled in my sheets and the way she quietly helps me survive a brutal rehab, I fall harder than ever before. Being injured has given me something hockey never did: the chance to dream about a life beyond the game: A future with Hazel, and creating a foundation to help injured athletes rebuild their lives the way I’m trying to rebuild mine. But the only problem is, Hazel lives in Arizona, and my team wants me back in Toronto. And returning to the ice for one last shot at glory may cost me my chance at a future with Hazel and the only dream I’ve ever had bigger than hockey.
