From USA Today bestselling author Chelsea Curto comes the fourth book in her hockey romance series D.C. Stars, a steamy friends-with-benefits hockey romance between a DC Stars player and the athletic trainer helping him rebuild his life after a career-ending injury. This collectible paperback edition features full-color character art and a never-before-seen bonus chapter.

Riley Mitchell has everything he could ever want. A championship career, a tight-knit team, and a future in the NHL that once felt guaranteed—until one night changes everything.

After a devastating accident leaves him adjusting to life with an amputation, Riley is forced to confront who he is without hockey. As he struggles to find his footing, both physically and emotionally, the last thing he expects is to form a connection with the one person assigned to help him heal.

Lexi Armstrong is determined to get Riley back on his feet. As the DC Stars’ athletic trainer, she’s used to keeping things professional—but there’s nothing professional about the tension building between them. So they make a deal: one night, no strings, no complications.

But once quickly turns into something more. As Riley fights to rebuild his future and Lexi becomes impossible to let go, they’ll have to decide if what they have is just a temporary distraction or something strong enough to last beyond the game.
