Alexei — Brenda Rothert

Alexei

I guess the party's over -- for now.
When I wake up in the hospital after a DUI car crash, my new NHL team owner gives me an ultimatum -- get sober or get packed for the minor leagues. So I talk the talk and go to rehab. I plan to breeze through, get sprung in 30 days or less and hit the road with my new team, the Chicago Blaze. All I have to do is charm my attractive, uptight rehab group leader into thinking I've changed -- how hard could it be?

I see right through Alexei Petrov.
My calling to save addicts from themselves before they self-destruct is deeply personal. Alexei's hot and successful, sure. But he's not okay, and he's got a lot of work to do before graduating from my group. No one's ever tested my boundaries like he does, though. I fight my desire and keep things professional, because the stakes couldn't be higher -- it's not just my job that's on the line, but also his life. The deeper we fall, though, the more he makes me question the mantra I live by: never trust your heart to an addict.
