Breaking the rules never felt so right..

Jake Williams was my first crush. My best friend’s older brother. The man I could never have.

Now he’s my patient. My first NHL assignment. And my greatest temptation.

My first day on the job is a total disaster.

I walk in on him fresh out of the shower, water dripping down every chiseled muscle.

Breaking the rules never felt so right..

Jake Williams was my first crush. My best friend’s older brother. The man I could never have.

Now he’s my patient. My first NHL assignment. And my greatest temptation.

My first day on the job is a total disaster.

I walk in on him fresh out of the shower, water dripping down every chiseled muscle.

And trust me, his “hockey stick” is as impressive as the rumors say.

Jake is all hard muscle and cocky charm, with a bad attitude that makes me want to slap him—and a smile that makes me want to kiss him.

His touch lingers too long during therapy sessions, and every heated glance is a reminder of why I should stay far, far away.

But when his lips find mine, I forget every reason to stop.

His kisses are fire, his touch pure sin, and the way he whispers my name makes me shatter.

If my best friend finds out, I could lose her.

If the team discovers what’s happening behind closed doors, Jake’s career—and mine—could be over.

The closer I get to Jake, the harder it is to remember why he’s off-limits. And the harder it is to walk away.
