A heartwarming romance that blends the worlds of art and Hockey. Nora, a talented artist who finds solace in sketching on the sidelines, never expected her quiet life to collide with Owen De Luca's-the star hockey player with a reputation for charm and trouble. When she's reluctantly roped into tutoring him, their connection is instant, even if neither is willing to admit it.
Between paint splatters and late-night practice sessions, sparks fly, and both discover that sometimes love isn't about finding someone just like you-it's about finding someone who helps you see life through a different lens.
Can two people from such different worlds tackle the obstacles that stand between them, or will their differences keep them apart?
