About this audiobook

She knows the truth. The world believes a lie. Ava Monroe has spent three years building the Empire Foundation into the heart of New York hockey. Her life is organized, predictable, and built around helping others—until one terrifying accident changes everything. When a piece of arena scaffolding collapses during a youth hockey clinic, team captain Ethan Hayes reacts without hesitation, saving a seven-year-old boy from certain tragedy. But the internet never sees that part. A fourteen-second viral clip paints Ethan as a violent athlete screaming at a frightened child, and overnight the league's most respected captain becomes the most hated man in hockey. To save the team's reputation, management forces Ethan and Ava into a public redemption campaign neither of them wants. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the undeniable chemistry growing between them. But Ethan has spent his entire life hiding the scars that made him the man he is. Ava has spent hers believing that work always comes before love. And when the truth behind the viral scandal finally begins to surface, they'll have to decide whether risking their hearts is worth risking everything they've built.
