He's the bad boy of international soccer, haunted by a tragedy that nearly destroyed him. She's the brilliant team doctor who never forgave him. Now, he's her patient... and their shared past is about to explode.
From the moment I laid eyes on Xander McCrae-my brother's sun-kissed best friend-I thought he was destined to be mine.
But one fateful night changed everything. A car crash stole my brother... and left Xander carrying the blame.
The world saw him as the villain. I saw only betrayal.
He found a new life five thousand miles away in Scotland, chasing glory on the pitch, while I turned my grief into obsession. Every choice-medical school, sports medicine, every step of my career-was forged to bring him back into my orbit.
Now, with the ink barely dry on his multimillion-dollar contract with my father's Miami team, Xander has no idea I'm his new physical therapist.
He thinks this is a fresh start.
Instead, he's walking straight into his past.
