breakaway series - book one CHASE MITCHELL He's hockey's golden boy with a reputation both on and off the ice. When a brutal knee injury threatens his shot at the Cup, his comeback depends on one person: his rival's little sister-the last woman he should want. EMMA ANDERSON She walked away from skating after a career-ending injury crushed her Olympic dreams. Now she's back as the Bears' physical therapist, ready to face her cheating ex-but not ready for Chase Mitchell. Especially when he makes her an offer: fake date him to keep his obsessive ex away, and in return, he'll help her get revenge on hers. Their on-camera chemistry was supposed to be pretend. But when the cameras stop rolling, the heat between them is anything but. Someone's bound to get hurt. And in this game, love isn't just risky-it's a full-contact sport. ⋆˙⟡♡🏒 11/05/2025 #1 - Hockey

I've been broken for so long that I stopped believing I could be whole. No one wants to love a man who can't even stand on his own two feet. I've heard it all before. "It's not you, it's just... this." "We can't do normal things." "You deserve someone who can handle this." Bullshit. What they meant was, I wasn't enough. Then she crashed into my life - reckless, stubborn, impossible, and made it her mission to prove me wrong. I'm drowning, and for some godforsaken reason, she won't stop pulling me back to the surface. But love doesn't fix broken things. And if I let myself believe she'll stay, I might not survive when she realizes I'm too much to handle.
