My job? Babysit the NHL's biggest disaster. Dane Foster is hockey's golden boy gone rogue—talented, reckless, and about two scandals away from torching his career. After his latest PR nightmare, I'm assigned as his full-time handler. Twenty-four seven. Every practice, every game, every team trip. This is my shot at finally making senior publicist. I just have to survive one season with the most infuriating man alive. Dane is everything I hate: cocky, impulsive, and way too pretty for his own good. He parties like there's no tomorrow and fights me on every single damage control strategy. We're oil and water. Fire and ice. Stuck together on buses, planes, and in hotel hallways at 2 AM when he tries to sneak out. I should want to strangle him. And some days, I do. But somewhere between late-night arguments and the rare moments when his charming mask slips, I see the man beneath the playboy reputation. The one who's hurting. The one who makes me laugh despite myself. The one whose heated stare makes me forget every professional boundary I've ever had. We're crossing lines we can't uncross, leaving me to decide: is he worth risking the career I've worked so hard for? Falling for Dane Foster isn't just unprofessional—it could destroy us both.
