Being the face of a franchise should feel like a dream. Instead, it’s a countdown. Oliver James finally earned his spot as the Rampage’s starting running back, but hiding a heart condition isn’t exactly a sustainable game plan. The pressure, the secrets, and the constant fear—it’s all one hit away from disaster. Enter Dr. Sloane Mercer. The team’s new mental performance coach—brilliant, confident, and absolutely untouchable. She’s here to keep players steady, not fall for one of them. Especially not him. Their chemistry is instant. Their connection? Impossible to ignore. But in a world where control means everything, letting someone in could cost them both the careers they’ve worked their whole lives for. He’s not supposed to need her. She’s not supposed to want him. And if either of them slip, the fallout won’t just break the rules—it could break them both.
