Slap Shot Hearts — Amber Heart

He lives for the roar of the rink -- she's rooted in the quiet rows of her family orchard.

Senior captain Griffin Hale is one clutch season away from a pro-hockey contract when an economics grade threatens his eligibility. Enter Ivy Callahan -- engineering artist, cider heiress, and the only tutor on campus immune to slap-shot smiles. One late-night study deal turns into stolen rink lessons and tractor-seat confessions, but they draw a hard no feelings, no future -- just pass the class and graduate.

Then a surprise fellowship yanks Ivy toward Columbia, and an AHL scout puts Griffin on the road. Long-distance looks impossible…until a frost crisis endangers the orchard that ties them both to Silverpine.

To save Ivy's home and Griffin's season, the entire hockey team trades sticks for pruning shears -- and the pair who promised “no strings” discover roots can stretch farther than they ever dreamed.

Dream contracts. Maple-iced kisses. One last shot at forever.

Can two ambitions skating in opposite directions find a way to share the same goal line?

Hero: Griffin Hale
Heroine: Ivy Callahan
