When world class tennis player Flynn Cooper's injury puts his future on the line, the last woman he expects to save his career is Sky Hart, the ex who married his rival. Working together again means facing everything they lost...and everything they still want.
***
Physiotherapist Sky Hart knows better than to let the past interfere with her work-until her newest patient makes that impossible.
Flynn Cooper is now one of the world's top tennis players. He's also the ex she never got over, the boy she loved, the man she lost, and the one person she never expected to see again after she shattered his heart by marrying his rival.
Their reunion reignites everything: the tension, the electric chemistry, and the unthinkable hurt they buried years ago. Every session feels like a collision with a past neither of them has truly moved on from. With Flynn's comeback resting in Sky's hands, staying professional is the one rule they can't afford to break.
But love doesn't follow the rules, and this time, the real match isn't on the court-it's against their own hearts.
