What happens when the youngest, most successful coach in the NHL comes face-to-face with the woman he never got over - only to find out she's married to his new General Manager?
Everything I've spent my life building is suddenly at risk.
I loved Ariana Ridley long before the world knew my name. Before the NHL. Before the pressure of being one of the youngest coaches in the league. Before I learned how to survive by locking my heart down tight.
Leaving her was the hardest thing I've ever done - and the one choice I never made peace with.
Now she's back.
And she belongs to another man.
My new General Manager.
I tell myself I can handle it. Discipline is my job. Control is my strength. I know how to keep my distance - how to respect the lines that should never be crossed.
But every glance drags the past to the surface. Every quiet moment reminds me the love I buried never died.
I see the cracks she tries to hide, the fear she's learned to live with, and the way she still looks at me like I'm the one place she can breathe.
I want to protect her.
I want to fight for her.
And I want things I have no right to want.
Because if I cross that line, I don't just risk my career - I risk shattering the woman I never stopped loving.
Some choices haunt us forever.
Some loves never let go.
And trying to right my wrongs might just ruin us both.
