    Summary

    Olivia Addison has spent her life on the edges of the rink, watching, learning, remembering.
    As the Ottawa Senators’ youngest ever team medic, she’s used to being underestimated. Used to being invisible.
    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have built a life at the center of the game. They are everything hockey celebrates. Olivia is everything it forgets.
    But when the ice cracks and old wounds resurface, lines begin to blur, between duty and devotion, between watching and wanting, between surviving alone and letting herself be seen.
    This is a story about healing, chosen family, and the quiet moments that change everything.

    Sometimes love doesn’t start at center ice.
    Sometimes it begins watching from the sidelines.
