She's the wall. I'm the chaos. We're about to break every rule.
Mara Okafor-Jones has spent six seasons as the Boston Banshees' starting goalie—and every single day proving she belongs. As captain, she's the backbone of the franchise. The wall. The one who never cracks. But the walls she's built aren't just on the ice. They're the only thing holding her together.
Rhodes Castellano was supposed to be Chicago's rising star. Then her knee exploded on national television, and thirteen months later, she's been traded to Boston like damaged goods. Now she's got one shot to prove she's still the player she used to be—and the last thing she needs is to fall for her new captain.
But Mara sees through every deflection. And Rhodes? Rhodes sees the woman behind the wall—the one who's been told her whole life that her body takes up too much space, that she's too much, that she should shrink. Rhodes thinks that's the biggest lie she's ever heard.
The team is chasing playoffs. The chemistry on the ice is undeniable. And the heat between them? It's about to melt everything Mara thought she knew about control.
Body Check is a sapphic sports romance featuring a goalie who's never let anyone past her defenses, a winger who's determined to stay, and the kind of love that doesn't ask you to be smaller. This is Book One in the Offside Hearts series. High heat, HEA guaranteed
