One career-ending injury. One strict athletic trainer. One line they swore they'd never cross.
Dylan Mercer has one job on the ice: protect his team. As an NHL enforcer, his worth is measured in penalty minutes and bruised knuckles. But when a devastating hit shatters his knee, his entire identity goes up in smoke. Benched, broken, and secretly terrified of being abandoned when he's no longer useful, Dylan hides behind a wall of sarcasm and stoicism.
Evan Li doesn't do feelings; he does data. As the team's head athletic trainer, Evan relies on strict, forty-seven-page rehab protocols to keep his players in line and his own guilt over a past career-ending injury at bay. He is clinical, detached, and exactly what Dylan needs to get back on the ice.
But as grueling hours of physical therapy bleed into late-night rehab sessions, the rigid boundaries between patient and trainer begin to blur. What starts as a clinical touch-goniometer readings, quad sets, and aquatic therapy in the pool-ignites a slow-burning, undeniable tension. Evan is determined to fix Dylan's body, but he wasn't prepared for the massive, wounded enforcer to break down his carefully constructed walls.
With Dylan's career and Evan's professional ethics on the line, giving in to their desires could cost them both everything. But some bonds are too strong to be benched.
Benched and Bonded is a high-heat, deeply emotional MM hockey romance featuring forced proximity, intense hurt/comfort, and a hard-won happily ever after.
