Shattering the UntouchableShattering the UntouchableVesper & VeilLanguage: English18+ 410.8K wordsCompletedIntroductionAfter drowning in debt and sacrificing years of her life to fund her boyfriend’s minor league hockey dreams, Brynn Caldwell’s ultimate reward is walking in on him destroying their bed with the head coach’s daughter. Penniless, heartbroken, but refusing to be entirely broken, Brynn accepts a wildly lucrative, life-changing offer: stepping in as the head Physical Therapist for the Los Angeles Avalanches. The only catch? It’s the exact same elite franchise her cheating ex just joined. But her cowardly ex is quickly proven to be the least of her problems. Enter Kaelen Vance. The Avalanches’ star Center Forward, a three-time MVP, and a living legend on the ice. He’s breathtakingly gorgeous, fiercely territorial, and possesses a notoriously vicious temper. More importantly, he is a severe, unapologetic germaphobe who violently refuses to let anyone touch his skin. Their very first encounter ends with Brynn pinned helplessly against a wall and Kaelen demanding her immediate termination. As her newest patient, he swears to make her life a living hell until she quits like all the others. But Brynn has survived worse, and she isn't backing down from the eight-thousand-dollar paycheck—or his damaged shoulder. Forced into the intimate, suffocating confines of the rehab room, the battle lines are drawn. Yet, the more Brynn forces him to endure her healing hands, the more the icy hatred in Kaelen's eyes begins to melt into a dark, ravenous heat. He is a man terrified of being contaminated, someone who treats physical contact like a lethal disease. So why is he suddenly looking at her like she’s the only drug that can soothe his pain, desperate to drag her into the dark and break every single rule he’s ever lived by?RomanceForced ProximityEnemies to LoversOffice RomanceCelebrityAthleteStrong Female LeadGrumpyColdCheatingR18+AngstHeartbreak335 ChaptersCompletedMay You LikeReckless Collision: The Billionaire Groom's Stolen NightTHE SINNER IN ROOM THREECHECKED BY MY HOCKEY NEMESIS Wreckage of Our Paper VowsRuined by the Captain, Claimed by the RivalHis Untraceable ObsessionSold to the Pyrehowl WarlordAshes of Our VowsMarried to the Rival CaptainThe Child He Was Never Meant to KnowRead now
