About this audiobook
She decides when a man walks off the ice.
He decides she was too slow to save him.
Liv Chenault is the head of physical therapy for a franchise that bleeds for the playoffs.
She knows knees. She knows ligaments. She knows the exact moment a career ends, because she watched it end her father.
So when a rookie's leg buckles on the blue line, she's already moving before the whistle.
And Bennett Cross is already in her face.
The captain. Granite-built. A voice made for arenas and arguments. A scar between his brows he refuses to explain.
To the city, Bennett is the franchise.
To Liv, he's the man who calls her "too slow" loud enough for the crowd to hear.
They are oil and ice. Rivalry and friction. A wall neither one will be the first to climb.
Then a set of test results lands in the wrong hands.
A secret tied to a name. A name tied to a trade Bennett never should have made. And suddenly the man she can't stand is the only one standing between her and a headline that could end everything she's built.
She waits for him to throw her to the press.
Instead, in the middle of a hearing that could break them both, Bennett leans close and says, low enough for only her: "Let them come at me. Not you."
That's the moment the ice cracks. Not because he defended her once, but because she finally sees what's under the granite.
Now Bennett is crossing every line he ever drew for himself.
But a slow burn this fierce can still leave a scar. And love at center ice is no good if neither of them can afford to lose.
If the captain wants the woman who saw through him, he'll have to do more than apologize. He'll have to prove he was wrong about her in front of everyone who watched him be cruel.
Blue Line Crush is a slow-burn, yearning hockey romance about an ice-rink rivalry, enemies-to-lovers tension, a brooding team captain, a buried family secret, forced proximity, and a love worth getting checked into the boards for.
Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers sports romance, brooding hockey heroes, slow-burn tension, workplace rivalry, and a hard-won happy ending. A standalone hockey romance.
