In a city where hockey is more religion than sport, Pocket FM reporter Avery Cole lives by one rule: the truth is worth the fallout. But when star captain Rowan Hale—fresh off a blockbuster trade—suddenly stops speaking to the press, Avery senses something darker than a slump behind his silence. One sentence changes everything: “They’re lying.” And the moment Avery starts digging, the warnings arrive—anonymous, precise, and terrifyingly personal. Someone is watching her drafts. Someone knows where she parks. Someone is determined to keep the real story buried. Rowan is running out of time, caught between a career-defining season and a secret that could end his life on the ice. Avery is running out of safety, trapped in a game where narratives are weaponized and reputations are easier to break than bones. To survive long enough to expose the truth, they make a desperate choice: give the public a story it will believe—one that keeps enemies distracted and buys them a narrow window to fight back. But fake headlines create real consequences. And in a world that profits from silence, the most dangerous thing isn’t falling in love—it’s refusing to be controlled. Love in Overtime is a high-stakes hockey romance thriller about power, trust, and the price of telling the truth when the ice—and the people who own it—do not forgive.
