11 parts Ongoing MatureWhen Heather Adams leaves her old life behind, all she wants is a fresh start, somewhere safe in a new town, far from the pain she's trying to forget. But her plans for anonymity are quickly upended when she meets Matteo Lombardi, her charming and meddlesome new boss, and his older brother Niklas, a professional hockey player with a magnetic presence she can't ignore.
A casual first date and an intense ice hockey game brings Niklas and Heather closer than Heather expected, she finds herself drawn to him in ways that scare her. Niklas is protective and warm, but as Heather's carefully guarded scars-both seen and unseen-begin to surface, she must confront her fears and decide if trusting him is worth the risk. Yet with every tender moment, Niklas proves he's not just a hero on the ice-he's willing to fight for Heather, no matter what it takes.
In a whirlwind of coffee shop banter, rinkside drama, and stolen moments, My Italian Hero is a story of love, healing, and the courage it takes to embrace a second chance.
