Falling for the Forbidden Catcher

Moving my off-limits MLB patient onto my family’s Montana ranch was a terrible idea.

I have rules. Lots of them. Especially after one false accusation from a former patient nearly destroyed my career.

Then Cade Sullivan walks into my clinic with a torn UCL, a stubborn streak a mile wide, and a smile that should come with a warning label.

He’s a Red Sox catcher. My patient. My brother’s old friend. Completely off-limits.

Then Boston turns his recovery into a media circus, and somehow he ends up recovering on my family’s Montana ranch.

I expect arguments. Instead, he follows every rehab plan I give him. He helps mend fences after therapy sessions. He plays guitar on the porch at night. And he looks at me like I’m more than his physical therapist.

I should be counting down the weeks until he leaves. Instead, I start wishing for more time.

Then a jealous colleague starts building a case against me, turning every innocent moment between Cade and me into evidence.

If she succeeds, I won’t just lose my career.

I’ll lose the only man who’s ever made me believe I could have both.
