Check and Chase

I have three rules as a student physical therapist: no dating hockey players, no getting involved in team drama, and absolutely no falling for my brother's rival.

But when Chase Mitchell─star forward and notorious heartbreaker─lands in my clinic with a busted knee weeks before playoffs, all my rules are put to the test.

I tell myself it's purely professional when I agree to a fake dating arrangement to keep both our exes at bay. But between late-night therapy sessions and pretend dates that feel all too real, Chase is making it impossible to remember why I swore off hockey players in the first place. He's determined to prove not all athletes are players, both on and off the ice.

With playoffs approaching, careers on the line, and our hockey worlds colliding, I'm about to learn that some rules are worth breaking─and some shots at love are worth taking.
