He's the defenseman everyone thinks is finished. I'm the team doctor who refuses to let him become another casualty.
Jason Vane was supposed to be the future of the Chicago Blades. Unexplained injuries and impossible setbacks have everyone questioning whether he'll ever play to his potential. The more time I spend treating him, the more I'm convinced someone wants him broken.
As the Blades' new team doctor, I've built my career on science, discipline, and never crossing professional lines. Falling for one of my players was never part of the plan.
Late-night rehab sessions become stolen conversations. Lingering touches become impossible to ignore. And every step Jason takes toward trusting me makes it harder to remember we can never be more than doctor and patient.
Getting too close could cost us everything - my career, his future, and the trust of an entire team.
When we uncover evidence that someone has manipulated the Blades' medical staff from the inside, protecting Jason becomes about far more than his recovery.
If the conspiracy doesn't end his career...falling in love with him will end mine.
Healing the Fallen Defenseman is a steamy, emotionally charged hockey romance
🏒 NHL Hockey Romance 🩺 Team Doctor & Defenseman 🚫 Forbidden Workplace Romance ❤️ Emotional Healing 🛡️ Protective Hero 🔥 Steamy Open-Door Romance 🤝 Found Family 🧩 Ongoing Team Conspiracy 🏆 Guaranteed Happily Ever After
What hooked me from the start was Jason’s injuries, wondering what was really going on, and Jemma needing to keep him safe had me feeling like there was a lot at stake. I also enjoyed the athlete with a team doctor heroine trope. While there was that wonderful line-crossing tension with the romance, there were also ramifications for their future and the team.
The late-night rehab sessions and the build of their relationship were swoony and didn’t feel rushed. Plus, when the whole internal sabotage plot became active, it was more than just them clicking; it was thrilling. If you enjoy sports romance filled with secrets, danger, and passion, give this one a read.
