Coming to 2026!
Her #1 rule: Never date a player. His new goal: Make her break it.
Max Sterling didn’t fight her way to the top of sports medicine to throw it all away on a charming smile. She’s earned her reputation through hard work, boundaries, and one unbreakable rule—no players.
Then Conner Ingle walks back into her clinic.
The star wide receiver needs six weeks of intensive rehabilitation after off-season surgery, and Max is the best at what she does. Six weeks of daily sessions. Six weeks of his hands under hers. Six weeks of him testing every professional boundary she’s ever built.
He’s persistent. She’s determined. The chemistry? Undeniable.
Just when Max decides some rules are meant to be broken, a tabloid scandal explodes—threatening his comeback, her career, and any chance they had at something real.
Now they have to choose: protect what they’ve built separately, or risk everything for what they could have together.
A sizzling friends-to-lovers sports romance featuring a heroine who won’t compromise and a hero who finally meets his match.
Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn chemistry, and swoon-worthy athletes who know how to fight for what matters.
Featuring crossover characters from BEYOND THE LINES (Damien Whitehead and Aaliyah Jordan)
