Mistletoe on the Blue Line

Sports physiotherapist Renata Costa takes a one-month contract with the Kingston Regals to rebuild her reputation on her own terms. Her hardest case is captain Jack Bouchard, a thirty-six-year-old veteran whose final contract year depends on impressing a scout on December 27. Ren reads bodies for a living, and Jack's left shoulder is telling a story he refuses to say aloud. When the truth reaches team physician Dr. Anita Rao, Ren must protect Jack's health without protecting his secret. Jack must decide whether a restricted role and an honest medical record are worth more than one desperate performance. Then undeniable feelings force a harder call: Ren formally recuses herself from his care. With a Santa Skate, snowbound road trips, and her contract ending December 31, both must choose integrity over fear. Steamy, heartfelt hockey romance with an earned happily ever after.
