Hearts on the Fly
Jabari Hall has spent his life on the ice until an injury leaves him benched. When his teammates set him up on a blind date, he never expected to be sitting across from Val Elliott, his ex's sister. With Val's loyalty on the line and Jabari searching for a new purpose, can they make it to the goal together, or will their hearts wind up in the penalty box?
When the game changes, love finds a way to score.
Jabari Hall has spent his entire life chasing victory on the ice–but one devastating hit leaves him benched, not just from hockey but from the future he thought he had. Now, as he struggles with deteriorating eyesight, his well-meaning teammates set him up on a date, hoping it will cheer him up–only the date they choose is none other than Val Elliott, his ex's sister.
Val never expected to be sitting across from Jabari, especially after the way he broke her sister's heart. But when Jabari opens up about his diagnosis, Val's guarded heart softens, and she offers him a listening ear. What begins as a simple friendship quickly turns into something more.
As Jabari navigates life off the ice, he's drawn to Val in ways he didn't expect. With her loyalty to her family on the line and Jabari searching for faith and a new purpose, can they make it to the goal together, or will their hearts wind up in the penalty box?
