Scored

Some hits don't happen on the ice.

Blake Bradshaw knows how quickly everything can disappear. His career. His future. The life he thought belonged to him.

Getting it back should be the only thing that matters.

Then he meets her.

Jessica wasn't part of the comeback. Neither was wanting her.

She's a distraction he can't afford, a temptation he should stay away from, and somehow the only person who makes everything he's fighting for feel a little less impossible.

What starts between them isn't supposed to matter. Until it does.

Now Blake isn't only fighting for another chance beneath the lights and roar of the arena. He's learning that off the ice, every choice can become someone else's story—and one wrong move can cost far more than a game.

Jessica has secrets of her own. Blake has mistakes he'd rather leave behind. And in a world where private moments have a way of becoming public, consequences are decided before the truth is revealed.

Some things are harder to come back from than others.

And suddenly, the biggest risk isn't waiting for him on the ice.
