About this listen
"Treating him?" I muttered to myself, nearly dropping my notebook. "The NHL's most guarded center? The man who's one bad game away from losing his contract? Have I lost my professional ethics?"
Anders Blake is Vancouver's golden boy on thin ice—a hockey star with a reputation for brilliance on the rink and brick walls around his emotions. I'm a sports psychologist fighting twice as hard for respect in a field where Black women are scrutinized at every turn.
His coach's solution? Mandatory therapy sessions.
Six weeks to fix his performance anxiety before playoffs.
Simple, right?
Except Anders isn't just a struggling athlete.
He's infuriatingly... perceptive.
And the way his eyes soften when he finally lets his guard down?
It's rewriting every ethical boundary in my practice.
Now clinical discussions turn into soul-baring confessions. Sessions simmer with tension thicker than the arena's plexiglass. And maintaining distance?
Impossible.
Because falling for my client wasn't part of the treatment plan.
But neither was discovering he respects my expertise... or the way his smile makes my carefully constructed professional walls crumble faster than his scoring drought.
Read on for: A sizzling forbidden BWWM hockey romance where therapy notes and slap shots collide. This story delivers heart-pounding chemistry, emotional revelations, and a love that proves even the most guarded hearts and ethical minds deserve a chance at overtime. Features a brilliant curvy heroine, a star hockey player battling inner demons, and a happily ever after worth risking it all for.

But when a billionaire in an expensive suit steals her favorite café seat, her peace, and eventually… her breath, she’s forced to confront more than just writer’s block.

I don’t believe in objectifying men. I don’t catcall men. I don’t ogle the bodies of men. I don’t view men as objects of my affection rather than complex people with feelings, wants, and needs of their own. I don’t treat men the way society often treats women. I treat men the way I want to be treated as a woman - with respect! So, when Carlos ran into me while I was reviewing my interview questions in the park, it surprised me to see my photography classmate out of class. I was also surprised to see as much of him as I did.

I'll be the first to admit that I live at extremes. After going 10 years locked in what felt like a dysfunctional marriage, I'm now decidedly boy-free. In nearly three years I've had no boyfriends, no flings, no dates, and no sex. For the sake of my dream career, the sacrifice has been easy. At least it was. Until he came along. Lukas Hendricks. He's rude, gorgeous, arrogant - a stone-carved wall of muscle and distraction. He's everything I know to avoid but there's no avoiding your next-door neighbor.
