Hurts So Good by Myra Scott

Crash:
There’s nothing I want more than to be inside the rink again. Hockey is more than my profession–it’s my passion. But when an injury takes me out of the game, my world is turned upside down.Instead of hitting the ice, I’m now expected to hit the fluffy purple yoga mat and… stretch. I can’t drink beer with my team anymore. I have to drink fruit-infused, pink mint tea. To make it worse, I’m falling in love with the man that’s behind all these embarrassing foo-foo things: my physical therapist.

Jake:
I love my job. There’s nothing more fulfilling than helping individuals heal and achieve the unthinkable after a life-altering injury. This means I’m no stranger to jaded, stubborn patients, so when famed Sebastian “Crash” Wellerson winds up on my list, I’m ready for the challenge.Crash is combative, but his rock-hard abs and broad muscular shoulders more than make up for his rotten attitude. But when I finally break through his steely outer shell, I see a man that I want something more with. I want Crash at my side and in my bed, but I can’t sacrifice my job and all I’ve worked for if this is just going to be a fling.
