He's the one everyone wants.
She's the one who keeps saying no.
Beckett Prescott is used to things coming easy-on the ice, in the spotlight, and in every relationship that never quite becomes one. Until an injury he can't ignore forces him into the last place he wants to be: Rehab.
Dr. Quinn Ellison doesn't care who he is. She cares about results. Structure. Boundaries. And Beckett? He breaks all three.
What starts as forced proximity turns into something neither of them planned-late nights, quiet tension, and a connection that doesn't fit neatly into rules or expectations. Because Quinn sees through him. And Beckett doesn't know how to walk away from that.
But she does. She says no. Again. And again. And again.
Until saying yes might cost her everything.
