Captain's Heart
(2025)(The third book in the Portsmouth Navigators Hockey series)
A novel by Kennedy Blake
He's hockey's most guarded captain. She's the hospital coordinator who sees beyond his walls.
Drew Phillips has perfected the art of emotional distance. As captain of the Portsmouth Navigators, his disciplined approach to hockey mirrors his approach to life—controlled, calculated, and never vulnerable. No one knows the childhood battle with cancer that shaped him, and that's exactly how he wants it.
Clara Davies radiates warmth as Portsmouth Children's Hospital's therapy coordinator, fighting for programs that heal more than just bodies. When budget cuts threaten everything she's built, partnering with the notoriously reserved hockey captain becomes her only option.
Their forced collaboration reveals unexpected depths in Drew and surprising strength in Clara. As professional boundaries blur, what begins as reluctant partnership evolves into undeniable attraction.
But when a patient's crisis forces Drew to confront his carefully buried past, he must decide if protecting himself is worth losing the woman who makes him want to feel everything he's spent a lifetime avoiding.
Some heroes wear hockey jerseys instead of capes, and sometimes the bravest battles are fought off the ice.
