Boldly

One second, I had everything.

The next, it was torn away.

I was at the peak of my career, captain of the Baltimore Breakers, minutes away from winning another Cup. Then one hit had derailed everything.

All I’d ever known was hockey, and I didn’t know where I fit in a world where playing was no longer a possibility. But then I was offered a chance to bring hockey back into my life. A shot at starting over.

The only condition of that second chance was required meetings with the team psychologist, Hazel.

She was exactly the kind of woman I might have once lusted after—beautiful, kind, a body that screamed sex. She made me feel whole, like a man again.

Except, she wasn’t interested in me outside of being a patient.

Well then, I would just have to convince her otherwise.
