Beth Carter has spent her life building boundaries – between her work and her heart, her ambition and her past. She’s a rising corporate lawyer with everything under control. She doesn’t do messy. She doesn’t go public. And she definitely doesn’t do athletes. Matthew Bennett lives under stadium lights, surrounded by teammates, cameras, and expectations. Hockey is what he knows. Fame is what he tolerates. Love? There’s never been space in his life for that. When a chance encounter brings their worlds together, sparks fly – but so do the complications. Their lives couldn’t be more different. And yet something between them refuses to be ignored. As pressures mount and secrets surface, they’ll have to choose between the safety of their separate lives … or risk everything for a chance that two hearts – even worlds apart – can still ignite.
