Description
Toni Lindstrom and Yvonne Volkova have been fierce adversaries on the ice for as long as they can remember. Toni is the fiery, aggressive forward whose passion defines her game, while Yvonne is the stoic, calculated captain known for her impenetrable emotional armor. They are hockey royalty, but they are also absolute oil and water.
When the International Games force these bitter rivals onto the same team—and worse, into the same living quarters—the tension quickly escalates. Stuck in close proximity away from the rink, the masks they wear for the world begin to slip. Toni discovers that Yvonne’s icy exterior hides a vulnerability she never expected, and Yvonne finds that Toni’s sunshine charm is an invitation she can no longer ignore.
What starts as a wary truce blossoms into a scorching, unauthorized romance. But as the tournament nears its conclusion, the reality of their rivalry looms large. Once the final whistle blows, they must return to opposite sides of the rink, leaving them to wonder if their newfound connection can survive the competitive divide. Checking for Love is a high-stakes, enemies-to-lovers story that proves the most important game of their lives isn’t the one played for a medal—it’s the one played for the heart.
