Hearts Behind the Glass

Sophie Bennett wants one thing from college: keep her head down, finish her journalism degree, and stay far away from charming athletes who think the world bends around them. Covering Mercy State‘s hockey team was never part of the plan. Neither was Ryan Mercer. As the team‘s intense, guarded captain, Ryan is the last person Sophie expects to trust. He is cold, impossible to read, and clearly hiding something. But when strange incidents begin piling up around the team, damaged equipment, leaked rumors, and threats that hit too close to home, Sophie starts to realize the danger is not random. Someone is targeting Mercy State hockey from the inside. The more Sophie digs, the closer she gets to a truth that could destroy the season and ruin lives. And the closer she gets to Ryan, the harder it becomes to tell where suspicion ends and something far more dangerous begins. Because Ryan is not just protecting his team. He is carrying secrets that could cost him everything. Set against the electric pressure of college hockey, Hearts Behind the Glass is a tense, emotional romance about trust, betrayal, and what happens when two guarded people stop standing on opposite sides of the truth.
