Curto, Chelsea: Hat Trick

Riley Mitchell has everything he could ever want. He's a back-to-back Stanley Cup champion. He has great friends, a fun life, and he's living out his dream of playing hockey in the NHL. Except one night, everything changes. After a car accident leaves him with an amputated right leg, he struggles with his identity. Who is he away from the ice? How is he supposed to live without the sport that means everything to him? Enter Lexi Armstrong, the DC Stars athletic trainer assigned to Riley's rehabilitation. Independent, proudly single, and a sarcastic ray of sunshine, she's determined to help Riley feel better not just physically, but mentally too. And the friends with benefits arrangement they fall into? Definitely not part of the rehabilitation plan. It was supposed to be one night, but when just once turns into something much deeper than a romp in the bedroom, they have a decision to make. Do they fight their feelings and keep things purely physical? Or can they pull off a Hat Trick and find something that lasts forever?
