He's the league's most feared enforcer. She's the one woman he can't touch. When a brutal hit leaves a rookie in the hospital, Liam "The Butcher" Kavanagh is given an ultimatum: get his temper under control in therapy or lose the only life he knows. Enter Dr. Ava Hart-the team's new sports psychologist, brilliant, composed, and absolutely off-limits. Mandatory sessions turn into late-night confessions. Behind the bruises and headlines, Ava sees a fiercely loyal man who has never been allowed to be anything but dangerous. Crossing the line could end his season and destroy her career, but the pull between them is a game neither of them knows how to stop. Skating the Line is a dark, high-heat hockey romance featuring a fiercely protective hero, a steel-spined heroine, and an HEA that hits as hard as the game. Interconnected standalone. No cliffhanger. 18+ for explicit scenes and adult language. Tropes and vibes: enforcer x therapist, forbidden/ethical line, grumpy/sunshine, workplace pressure, found family in the locker room, redemption, possessive hero, high steam.
