Off the Ice (Blades & Hearts: The Chicago Hellblades #1)

Ava never intended to blow up the biggest scandal in hockey history. As a journalist, she was just doing her job, uncovering the truth, exposing corruption, and making sure no one could bury the story. But when her reporting leads to the suspension of Logan Bennett, the NHL’s golden boy and her ex-rival turned unexpected ally, everything gets a lot more complicated.

Logan has spent his entire life chasing hockey greatness, and he’s not about to let a scandal destroy his career. When the league tries to make him the face of their redemption, he has two choices: play by their rules or fight for something bigger. With Ava at his side, the lines between duty and desire blur, and soon, their late-night strategy meetings turn into something far more personal.

But exposing the truth comes at a cost, and as the pressure mounts, Ava and Logan have to decide if love is worth risking everything. Because in a game where reputations are everything, trusting the wrong person can cost you everything—including your heart.

Some risks are worth taking.

And loving Logan Bennett? That might be the biggest gamble of all.
