He’s my boss. My best friend’s brother. And the one man capable of wrecking me all over again.

Knox Wright doesn't let people get close. Neither do I.

He built the Providence Forge hockey franchise with the same control and discipline he used to rebuild his life after refusing the draft. I took a job at his architecture firm because I needed a fresh start after the worst night of my life.

Working for my best friend's brother should have been complicated enough. Falling for my devastatingly intense boss? Definitely not part of the plan.

But Knox sees through the ambition, the grief, and the carefully stitched-together version of myself I show the world. When we're alone, the tension between us burns hotter than either of us can control.

He's the one man I can't afford to want because he's my boss. My best friend's brother. And if we cross that line, there may be no going back.

The closer I get to Knox, the harder it becomes to walk away—even when loving him might cost us both everything we've worked so hard to rebuild.

Crossing the Line is a high-heat forbidden hockey romance featuring a brooding hockey hero, best-friend's-brother romance, workplace tension, a secret relationship, emotional healing, and a deeply satisfying HEA.
