Alana Laurant built her life around controlled language, clean lines, and the quiet authority of healing other people while keeping her own damage sealed behind professional distance. When she takes on NBA superstar Saint Valentine after a knee injury, she expects strain, recovery, and predictable resistance. Instead, she finds a man hollowed out by pressure, addiction, and the wreckage of a toxic relationship that keeps dragging him back under. As their work shifts into something deeper and more dangerous, both must confront the parts of themselves that pain has taught them to hide.
