Dear MVP, You're Ice Cold

The league's most disciplined player just broke his own rules.After a brutal divorce from her powerful ex, Scout Nash swears off athletes for good. She wants peace, purpose, and a fresh start away from the spotlight. Working for the Seattle Havoc seems safe enough until she's assigned to live with their injured MVP, Silas Huxley.Silas is disciplined, distant, and impossible to please. His shoulder is a wreck, his patience is thin, and he hates that the team sent someone to manage him. Scout's job is to keep him focused, make sure he heals, and ignore the way his voice slides under her skin.She wants to keep her distance. He makes that impossible. One argument turns heated, one touch turns reckless, and suddenly the line between helping him and wanting him disappears.He's not the type to ask for comfort. But with her, the control he's famous for starts to slip. Each touch feels like a mistake he wants to make again. Every night gets harder to pretend it means nothing.Scout knows better than to fall for a man who's off limits. But when Silas lets her see the man beneath the ice, she stops caring about the rules.Once she melts him, there'll be no going back.Tropes: grumpy x sunshine, workplace romance, forced proximity, injured hero, protective man, slow burn, he falls first, she's off-limits
