He's her boss. Her heartbreak. Her only safe place. Gunnar Evaldson built his hockey empire on discipline and grief. After losing his brother, he swore off distractions, attachments, and anything that might crack the armor around his heart. Then Zaila Monroe walks in. Brilliant. Blunt. Beautiful. The intern who sees through his control-and makes him feel again. But Zaila's already lost her father. And now her mother is dying. Abandoned once as a child, she's terrified of being left again. So when Gunnar hesitates, she walks-before he can break her. Only Gunnar won't let her go. Not this time. Grumpy boss. Forbidden love. Soul-deep grief. If you love USA Today Bestseller Alexa Padgett's emotionally wrecked men who fall hard-and fierce women who fight for their hearts-this sports romance will wreck you in the best way.
