Deking at Love

A broken past. A forbidden present. A second chance worth everything.

Sam Durbin is on the brink of everything he's worked for. One bad injury threatens to end his breakout hockey season, and the pressure to get back on the ice is mounting. But nothing throws him off his game faster than coming face-to-face with his physical therapist-the woman he walked away from. The one he never forgot.

Angelina Rossi finally has the career she fought for. A position at a top-tier clinic, a future she built on her own terms ... and a patient who could destroy it all. Treating Sam should be simple. Clinical. Professional. But every session drags up the past she's tried to bury and the feelings she never truly let go.

Sam knows he doesn't deserve a second chance. Angie knows she can't survive giving him one. But every session chips away at their defenses-old wounds resurfacing, new heat building, and neither of them quite able to hold the line.

Giving in to desire could end Sam's comeback before it begins. It could destroy the career Angie's fought so hard to build. But walking away might be the one loss neither can overcome.

Deking at Love is a steamy, second-chance, forbidden sports romance featuring a wounded hockey player, a no-nonsense physical therapist, and a chemistry they can't outskate. Perfect for readers who love witty banter, workplace tension, and high-stakes emotion-with a guaranteed HEA.
