Off Side

Isla Brooks has spent her entire life fighting for someone else.

At twenty years old, she's balancing college, a career behind the camera for Michigan Wolves Hockey, and raising her eight-year-old brother after a childhood spent in foster care. Love has never been part of her plan-survival always came first.

Connor McKenna has one season left.

As captain of the Wolves, he's determined to make the most of his senior year after watching his best friends leave for the pros. The NHL has never felt within reach, so he's focused on hockey, making memories, and figuring out what comes next.

When a stolen parking spot leads to an unexpected friendship, neither of them expects the connection that follows. Between summer hockey camps, late-night coffee runs, and a little boy who steals Connor's heart just as quickly as he steals Isla's, the three of them begin to build something that feels a lot like home.

But sometimes life doesn't follow the game plan.

When dreams and distance threaten everything they've built, Isla and Connor must decide whether love is worth the risk-or if some people are only meant to be part of one season.

Because sometimes the hardest part of falling in love... is what happens after the final buzzer.
