About this audiobook

He skates like he’s untouchable. She’s about to prove he’s not. Declan Marsh is the Toronto Vipers’ most brilliant asset—and their most expensive liability. Armed with lethal talent, ice-blue eyes, and a devastating temper, he has spent his entire career building a flawless wall of armor around himself. To the fans, he’s a god. To referees and journalists, he’s a nightmare. But when a string of violent outbursts lands him on the brink of a season-ending suspension, team ownership delivers a brutal ultimatum: complete a mandatory therapy program, or get benched for the year. Declan has no intention of making it easy. He expects a corporate babysitter he can easily stonewall. He doesn't expect Dr. Sienna Vance. Sienna didn’t take the job with the Vipers to fix billionaire athletes’ egos. She took it because she knows firsthand what happens when a sports system values a player’s performance over their humanity. She is brilliant, fiercely disciplined, and entirely unbothered by Declan’s intimidation tactics. She doesn’t care about his fame; she cares about keeping him on the ice. What begins as a high-stakes psychological chess match quickly shifts into dangerous territory. As Declan’s carefully constructed defenses begin to crack, the explosive tension between them threatens to melt the very ice they stand on. But in the high-stakes world of professional hockey, perception is everything. With prying journalists snapping photos, legal teams breathing down their necks, and a championship on the line, crossing the line from doctor to something more could cost them everything they’ve built. Can a man who has spent seventeen years running from his past finally learn to trust the only person who truly sees him? Or will the penalty for opening his heart carry a price tag too heavy to pay? Penalty for My Heart is a scorching, deeply emotional standalone contemporary sports romance. It features an enemies-to-lovers dynamic, a fiercely independent heroine, a beautifully reformed alpha hero, and plenty of forced proximity. If you love your hockey players protective, wounded, and utterly devoted, your next obsession is right here.
