He skates like a fridge on stilts. She's the only coach who can fix him—and the one woman he can't be seen with.
Benched and publicly humiliated, Edinburgh hockey enforcer Rop Baird has one shot at saving his the 5 a.m. ice, the dark end of the rink, and the exacting hands of Mirren Kelso. A former Olympic hopeful bound by an exclusive contract to a rival academy, Mirren risks everything just to touch his edges. Their sessions are supposed to be clinical. They don't stay that way.
But the better she coaches him, the more public he becomes—and the closer the world creeps to the one clause that could end her livelihood for good. When her director forces an impossible choice, Mirren walks away from the only work she has left. And Rop refuses to let her sacrifice go unseen.
A steamy, secret-lessons sports romance novella. Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Grace Reilly.
