❝ like a fantasy in front of me ❞
Elizabeth Murphy had just finished her medical internship at NYU when her life changed overnight. At only twenty-two, she was offered a position with the New York Rangers as part of their medical staff - a dream she had carried for as long as she could remember. Working in professional sports had always been the goal, and she didn't hesitate to say yes.
Enter Matt Rempe - the Rangers' towering enforcer. Massive, intimidating, and known for dropping the gloves without hesitation, Matt is the last person anyone would describe as gentle. On the ice, he's relentless. Fearless. Brutal, even.
But off the ice, especially when he's sitting on the exam table with fresh bruises and stitched-up knuckles, something shifts.
Every fight that leaves him bloodied seems to lead him straight back to Elizabeth. She's the one cleaning his cuts, checking his ribs, pressing ice to his swollen jaw. Patch by patch, injury by injury, their connection begins to build in the quiet moments of the medical room - in soft reassurances, lingering glances, and hands that stay a second too long.
The enforcer of the New York Rangers may terrify the league...
but around Elizabeth Murphy, Matt Rempe becomes something else entirely.
