For readers who enjoy sports romance with high stakes, simmering tension, and a relationship that has everything working against it, Offside Captain by Esther Jade delivers a compelling hockey romance built around enemies-to-lovers chemistry and forced proximity. The story follows Ryder Kane, the captain of the Denver Storm, and the physical therapist responsible for helping him recover from a career-threatening knee injury. What begins as a professional relationship quickly becomes much harder for both of them to keep under control.

At the center of the story is a romance that should never happen. Ryder is her injured patient and sworn enemy, while she is the person responsible for getting him healthy enough to return to the ice. With a strict team no-fraternization policy standing between them, giving in to their attraction could put much more than their relationship at risk.
