Alanna has fought for every ounce of respect as the Mounties’ only female athletic trainer. In a world where one wrong move could destroy her career, getting involved with a player is the ultimate forbidden line. Especially the player she shared one unforgettable night with before she ever knew who he was.

Dean knows crossing that line could cost them both everything. But with every stolen touch and lingering look, resisting her becomes the hardest game he’s ever played.

Team rules. Her reputation. His career.

Because when something feels this right, how long can you really keep pretending it’s wrong?
