Three years after her humiliating divorce from hockey star Jason Martinez, Elliot Waltman has meticulously rebuilt her life with one unbreakable rule: no hockey players. Ever.

Until Brody Carter moves in next door.

The brooding defenseman has harbored feelings for Elliot since a single intense conversation at a Christmas party years ago, when she was still married to his teammate. Now, a trade back to Phoenix has given him a second chance he never thought hed get.

As walls crumble and carefully guarded hearts begin to open, Elliots ex resurfaces with a vengeance, threatening to destroy everything theyve built. His vindictive campaign forces Elliot to make an impossible choice—stay and risk Brodys career, or flee and sacrifice the love she never saw coming.

In a high-stakes game where the past collides with the present, Elliot and Brody must decide if what burns between them is worth fighting for—even when the odds are stacked against them and the penalty for losing is devastation.
