8 parts Ongoing MatureElle Jensen has one rule, keep emotions out of it. As the new art therapist for the Aurora Vipers, she's there to do a job, keep her head down and walls up. Years of heartbreak have taught her to stay guarded, and she has no intention of letting anyone- especially a cocky hockey player- break through her walls.
Caleb "Cage" Dawson is as emotionally shut off as he is ruthless on the ice. A notorious player both on and off the rink, he has no interest in baring his soul to some therapist, least of all one as stubborn and infuriating as Elle. Their clashes are immediate, their tension undeniable, and neither is willing to back down.
But beneath the sharp words and icy stares, they have more in common than they realise. Pain, loss, and the fear of letting someone in. As the lines between animosity and attraction blur, their enemies-to-lovers dynamic shifts into something far more dangerous: the possibility of healing.
But love doesn't come easy for the broken. Will they tear down their walls for each other, or will fear keep them apart?
Heart Check is a gripping, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance packed with emotional depth, sizzling chemistry, and a love story that proves sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we fight within ourselves. Will they risk it all for a chance at something real, or will their scars keep them on opposite sides of the ice?
