Liam Ferguson has spent years playing it safe—on the ice and with his heart.

His NHL team’s locker room is a toxic mess, and his career is slipping through his fingers. But nothing haunts him more than the one thing he’s never had the courage to fight for—Madison King, his best friend’s sister, and the girl he’s loved since high school.

She’s always been off-limits. Untouchable.
And completely unforgettable.

Madison King doesn’t do relationships.

After years of disappointment, she’s mastered the art of keeping men at arm’s length—thanks to a carefully crafted fake-dating arrangement with her best friend. Her focus is her yoga studio, her growing online brand, and building a life that doesn’t rely on anyone else.

Especially not men like Liam.

All hockey. No emotional depth and way too much like her irresponsible brother. She wants a partner, not a project.

But when Liam’s team hires her as their new yoga instructor, avoiding him is no longer an option.

Now she’s in his space. In his head.

And just as her carefully controlled fake relationship starts to unravel, so do the walls she’s spent years building.

Because staying away from Liam? That was never the hardest part.

Stolen moments turn into lingering touches. Tension builds. Boundaries crack. And for the first time, walking away might cost them everything.

Because Liam is done playing it safe.

And Madison?

She’s dangerously close to wanting the one man she swore she’d never need.
