Off The Record

"She's here for the truth. He's the city's favorite lie."

Lena Voss doesn't do rinks. She doesn't do "hero-worship." And she definitely doesn't do hockey players with a reputation for being a "problem." But when she's assigned a month-long embedded profile on the Glacier Knights' star captain, Jax Mercer, she has no choice but to step onto his ice.

Jax is fast, magnetic, and used to keeping the world at arm's length with a polished quote and a smirk. He didn't expect a reporter who asks questions that bleed. He didn't expect someone who looks at him like he's a variable she's already solved. And he certainly didn't expect to be the one who wants to stop moving.
One "non-date" for fries, one borrowed hoodie, and a leaked photo later, the story is no longer about hockey. It's about what happens when the camera is off and the truth finally goes off the record.
