Crossing Lines

"The riskiest moves happen off the ice"

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

As Briar University's new athletic trainer, Harper Reid knows every boundary she needs to maintain. Daughter of the hockey team's respected coach, she's spent her life in rinks, but nothing prepared her for Wes Carter. The team's NHL-bound star forward plays like there are no limits, pushing boundaries with a reckless abandon that threatens both his career and her professional credibility.

When a catastrophic mid-season injury forces them together, the lines between professional and personal begin to blur. Behind his defiance, Harper discovers Wes's deep fear of failure, while he sees past her rigid professionalism to the battles she fights to prove herself as more than just the coach's daughter.

Their growing attraction becomes impossible to ignore, but crossing this line could destroy everything-her career, his NHL dreams, and the team's championship hopes. As pressure mounts from all sides, they must decide if maintaining boundaries is worth sacrificing the chance at something extraordinary. Sometimes the greatest victories come from breaking the rules you were meant to follow.
