He's my best friend. I'm his doctor. And we're about to break every rule.

Leo Carter, the Steelhawks' golden boy, is the one man I can always count on. He's also hiding a career-ending secret, and his stubborn pride is going to get him permanently benched. I'm the only one who sees the pain behind his smile, and I'm the only one who can save him from himself.

But my professional code is clear: getting close to a patient is forbidden. As I dig deeper into the truth, I discover his injury is just the tip of the iceberg. A dangerous conspiracy is unfolding in our locker room, and Leo is at the center of it.

To protect him, I'll have to risk my career. To love him, I'll have to risk my heart. And when years of simmering tension finally explode, the fallout could burn us both to the ground.
