One brutal hit shatters my season. One incredible woman sees the man I’ve forgotten how to be.
As captain of the Frostholm Blizzards, I’ve spent my career carrying everyone else’s burdens. That’s who I’m expected to be.
The leader. The protector. The guy who never needs saving.
When Annette, the sports medicine intern, oversees my recovery she refuses to see a hockey star. She sees the exhausted man inside the jersey.
She challenges me, calls me out when I push too hard, and becomes the first person who makes me believe I don’t have to carry the world alone.
For the first time in my life, I know exactly what I want. A future with Annette.
Before I can tell her, she leaves, convinced she’s protecting my future. She thinks she’s saving my future. She has no idea she’s taking it with her
