He's the best defenseman in the league. He's also hiding a torn knee from everyone.
Maya Brooks has one rule about new jobs: never let them see you're nervous. But the Harbor City Hawks are the worst team in the league, and their grumpy captain, Jake Kessler, has already run off three physiotherapists.
Maya notices what no one else does: a half-second hitch every time he turns left. Jake notices that she noticed, and he'd rather lie to the whole city than let her look closer.
What starts as secret 6 a.m. rehab sessions, strong coffee and one very good cherry pie slowly turns into something neither of them planned. But the rules say a physio can't fall for her patient. And when a reporter starts asking questions, the secret they're keeping could cost them everything they've worked for.
Off the Ice is a slow-burn, grumpy-sunshine hockey romance with a workplace twist, a found-family locker room, and a happy ending. Closed-door, with kisses only.
