Description

Elise Moreno has defined her entire existence by the relentless pace of professional hockey. But when a devastating shoulder injury forces her to the sidelines, her identity crumbles alongside her career. Stripped of the sport that grounded her and forced to watch her teammates from the bench, Elise is spiraling—until she encounters Dr. Sienna Park. Sienna has built a reputation on unshakable professional boundaries. As the team’s surgeon, she has a strict policy regarding player relationships, and the intense, wounded, and deeply alluring Elise is exactly the kind of complication she has spent her career avoiding. Yet, as their clinical sessions transition into late-night vulnerability, the walls surrounding Sienna’s resolve begin to splinter. What starts as a patient-physician necessity quickly ignites into a forbidden connection that challenges every rule they’ve both lived by. As the physical and emotional stakes rise, the two women must navigate a treacherous path between their professional reputations and the consuming gravity of their attraction. In the high-pressure world of Phoenix Ridge, Elise and Sienna are about to discover that when the ice melts, the most dangerous risk isn’t getting back in the game—it’s falling for the one person who could change everything.

Phoenix Ridge Hockey Rocks!

Less hockey and more romance but still loved it. I'm looking forward to book 4. Does psychiatrist Helen have a partner yet? If not, i hope she's next to fall in love with one of the hockey players.

OMG I cried like a baby reading this!

Emily Hayes, such a gifted wordsmith who writes with so much emotion, this one really got to me. I used to go to Whalers hockey games in CT in the late 70’s (yes I am that old), I wasn’t much of a fan but my wife’s dad was and gave us tickets when he couldn’t go. These stories, have changed my views on the game, of course this is a women’s league, so that dynamic fits my interests better! The storyline is beautifully written with deep characters each with flaws that are treated with profound sensitivity. The heated intimate scenes a very well done. I loved this series and this one was just to my liking!
