Description

Rachel Price has finally landed her dream job with Jacksonville’s newest NHL team, and she’s determined not to let anything ruin it.

Especially not a player.

Two months earlier, she had one unforgettable night with a man who seemed perfect—charming, sexy, and impossible to forget. She never expected to see him again. But when she starts her fellowship as the team’s sports medicine practitioner, she comes face-to-face with that same man… and realizes he’s one of the Jacksonville Rays.

As if that weren’t complicated enough, his best friend and the team’s broody equipment manager, along with a stubborn goalie who seems to think she’s his personal good luck charm, soon make her life even messier.

Rachel knows getting involved with players could risk everything she’s worked for. But as tension builds, boundaries blur, and one unforgettable connection turns into something much bigger, she’s forced to ask herself the question she never planned on answering:

What if choosing just one was never the point?
