About

Crossing the Blue Line Jackson Hayes has a reputation on campus: star hockey player, effortless charmer, and the guy who never takes anything too seriously—especially relationships. Confident, funny, and always the center of attention, he’s never met someone who wasn’t won over by his smile. Madison Bennett is the complete opposite. Smart, independent, and sarcastic, she’s focused on moving forward after a difficult breakup and has no interest in another cocky athlete—no matter how attractive he is. After an accidental coffee spill throws them together, Jackson turns making Madison smile into his newest challenge. But as their constant teasing turns into late-night conversations, stolen moments, and undeniable chemistry, they begin to realize there’s more beneath each other’s carefully built walls. When old heartbreaks, demanding hockey schedules, and fears of commitment threaten to pull them apart, Jackson and Madison must decide if taking a chance on each other is worth risking the lives they’ve worked so hard to build. Sometimes the biggest risk isn’t losing the game—it’s letting someone in.
