Hockey, rehabilitation, and a relationship on uncertain terms

After a car accident ends Riley Mitchell’s NHL career and results in the amputation of his right leg, his struggle extends beyond physical rehabilitation to questions of identity and life away from hockey. Lexi Armstrong, the DC Stars athletic trainer assigned to his recovery, becomes part of that transition. Their friends-with-benefits arrangement introduces a romantic-comedy thread alongside Riley’s adjustment to a future that no longer includes the sport at its center. Chelsea Curto’s novel brings together professional hockey, rehabilitation, and the complications of feelings that grow beyond an intended casual relationship.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in contemporary romantic comedy with a hockey setting.
  • Readers looking for romance that includes disability, rehabilitation, and questions of identity.
  • Readers who enjoy friends-with-benefits relationships that develop into something more.

Book overview

Riley Mitchell has everything he could ever want.

 

He's a back-to-back Stanley Cup champion. He has great friends, a fun life, and he's living out his dream of playing hockey in the NHL.

 

Except one night, everything changes.

 

After a car accident leaves him with an amputated right leg, he struggles with his identity. Who is he away from the ice? How is he supposed to live without the sport that means everything to him?

 

Enter Lexi Armstrong, the DC Stars athletic trainer assigned to Riley's rehabilitation.

 

Independent, proudly single, and a sarcastic ray of sunshine, she's determined to help Riley feel better not just physically, but mentally too.

 

 

And the friends with benefits arrangement they fall into?

 

Definitely not part of the rehabilitation plan.

 

It was supposed to be one night, but when just once turns into something much deeper than a romp in the bedroom, they have a decision to make.

 

Do they fight their feelings and keep things purely physical? Or can they pull off a Hat Trick and find something that lasts forever?
