HE IS THE ICE KING. I AM THE GLITCH IN HIS SYSTEM. AND I JUST ASKED HIM TO TEACH ME HOW TO SIN.
ANTHONY ROSSI
I live my life by a strict set of rules. Eat. Sleep. Win. Get drafted.
My family’s future depends on me securing an NHL contract, which means I treat my body like a machine and my heart like a fortress. I don’t do distractions.
Especially not Lisa Thorne.
She’s my team’s new student trainer. She’s chaotic, talks too fast, and wears butterfly clips that drive me insane. She’s also forbidden. Touching her means losing my captaincy.
But when she asks me for “lessons” to get over her fear of intimacy, I should say no. I should walk away.
Instead, I lock the door.
LISA THORNE
I view the world through data and hypotheses. But there is one variable I can’t solve: Men.
I’m twenty-two, unkissed, and terrified I’m broken. I need a teacher. Someone clinical. Someone safe.
I didn’t expect Anthony Rossi to volunteer.
He was supposed to be the grumpy jock who hated me. But behind closed doors, he’s not clinical. He’s possessive. He’s demanding. And he whispers things in the dark that make me forget all the rules.
We agreed to keep it physical. No feelings. Just physics.
But now I’m wearing his jersey, he’s fighting the whole world to keep me, and I’m realizing that this is one experiment we might not survive.
HE’S THE NHL’S MOST VALUABLE ASSET. I’M THE TRAINER FORBIDDEN TO TOUCH HIM.
Will “The Wall” Sterling.
Six-foot-four. Captain of the Stonebriar Stags. The draft pick everyone wants.
He’s arrogant, icy, and treats his body like a machine. To him, I’m just “noise.” A distraction in his perfect algorithm.
But when a career-threatening injury forces us into the most intimate proximity imaginable, I learn the truth.
Will isn’t just a machine. He’s broken. And he’s starving for the one thing he’s never been allowed to have:
Control.
In the training room, I’m the boss. But in his bedroom?
He’s the one calling the shots.
Isabelle Hart.
I have one goal: Graduate and get the hell out of Oakhaven.
I don’t date hockey players. I don’t break rules. And I certainly don’t hook up with patients.
Especially not patients who look at me like I’m a meal and they haven’t eaten in weeks.
We made a deal. I fix his hip; he gives me the data for my thesis.
It was supposed to be clinical. Professional. Safe.
But one snowy night in the arena changes everything. Now, the lines are blurred.
We’re hiding a secret that could destroy his draft stock and ruin my career.
And the little plus sign on the stick?
That’s a variable neither of us accounted for.
