A fated mate bond clashes with new step-sibling ties during mandatory physical therapy sessions.
Rehab intern Aria begins a clinical rotation treating the campus hockey captain and instantly recognizes him as her fated mate, a supernatural bond demanding closeness. Shortly after, their parents marry, making them step-siblings sharing a household. Professional protocol forces Aria into hands-on stretches and supported breathing exercises that require skin-to-skin contact, intensifying the mate connection while their new family structure forbids it. The blended home grows fragile as each session tests their restraint against an instinct neither can switch off.
