After the Whistle

by Naomi Vale

Five years ago, Tessa Morgan told the truth about an injured athlete, and Sebastian Kane made sure no one believed her.

Five years ago, Tessa Morgan told the truth about an injured athlete, and Sebastian Kane made sure no one believed her. Her career never recovered. Now an elite performance institute is giving her one last chance, and her first major patient is Noah Kane: Olympic sprinter, Sebastian's younger brother, and exactly the complication Tessa has spent years avoiding. Noah should be unbearable. Instead, he's warm, funny, patient with her sharp edges, and frustratingly easy to like. As she helps him rebuild after a devastating Achilles injury, professional distance becomes harder to hold. Tessa knows getting involved with him could give her enemies another reason to destroy her. Knowing that doesn't make her want him less. Then Noah's medical file starts changing. Tests Tessa never performed appear under her name. Results say he's ready when she knows he isn't. Tessa has seen this pattern before--and last time, an athlete's career ended. Someone is preparing Noah to race before his body is ready. If Tessa stays quiet, he could lose everything. If she speaks up again, the people who ruined her once already know exactly how to do it twice.
