The Heart Behind the Jersey by Mourad Errahla

The Heart Behind the Jersey

Liana Morgan knows how to fix a reputation, but she never expected her biggest challenge to come in the form of a hockey superstar.

When the North Stars face a devastating public relations crisis, Liana is assigned to rebuild the team's image and protect their future. There is only one problem: she has to work with Cole Harper, the team's captain and the man behind the famous jersey.

On the ice, Cole is unstoppable. He is talented, respected, and admired by thousands of fans. But behind the spotlight, he is guarded, stubborn, and haunted by the failure that changed his career forever.

Liana sees him as an arrogant athlete who believes the rules do not apply to him. Cole sees her as another person trying to control his life. Their constant battles make working together nearly impossible—until they discover that their first impressions might be completely wrong.

Between late-night meetings, media pressure, and the intensity of the hockey season, the walls around them begin to fall. Liana discovers the man hidden behind Cole's reputation, while Cole finds someone who sees beyond his success and his mistakes.

But when secrets from the past threaten everything they have built, they must decide whether they are willing to risk their hearts.

Because the hardest victory is not won on the ice.

It is finding someone who knows the heart behind the jersey.
