Spending time with someone you cannot stand is already challenging. Now imagine having to work closely with that person while trying to ignore an attraction that could put your career at risk.
This is the complicated situation at the center of Offside Captain by Esther Jade, a contemporary hockey romance that pairs an injured professional athlete with the physical therapist responsible for his recovery. Their conflicting personalities and professional circumstances create an unexpected connection neither initially intends to pursue.
The story follows Ryder Kane, captain of the Denver Storm, whose future in professional hockey is threatened by a serious knee injury. His physical therapist is assigned to help him recover, but their difficult relationship soon becomes more complicated than either anticipated. What should be a straightforward professional arrangement turns into a romance neither can afford to pursue openly.
