Jace Holloway has built his reputation on being the calm one.
As the star goalie for the North Lake Wolves, he's the player teammates trust, fans admire, and opponents fear. But beneath the confidence and control, Jace is struggling with anxiety that threatens to unravel everything he's worked for.
Sports psychologist Dr. Elena Marquez helps athletes navigate pressure for a living. She knows how to recognize the warning signs of burnout, even when someone is determined to hide them.
As Jace and Elena spend more time together, professional conversations turn personal, guarded truths begin to surface, and an unexpected connection grows between them. But learning to trust another person may be even harder than facing the fears they've both spent years avoiding.
Between the Lines is a clean hockey romance featuring a sports psychologist heroine, emotional healing, anxiety representation, slow-burn romance, found family, and a heartwarming happily-ever-after.
