[US Sale] Lights. Camera. Tension. He runs the team, her father runs the show—and when a stoic hockey captain falls for his boss’s filmmaker daughter, their forbidden romance becomes the most dangerous production in Los Angeles.
Freddie Hearst is an aspiring horror director and the daughter of a ruthless billionaire who's been kicked out of the family trust. Jobless in LA with her bank account dwindling, she's in no position to decline when her father dangles a lifeline—a paid gig filming a documentary about his failed professional hockey team. Freddie accepts, even knowing it’s nothing more than a ploy to bring her back under his thumb. Focused on jumpstarting her film career, Freddie has no investment in the team's future, or the community she stands to destroy when her father sells the franchise and pays her a cut of the sale.
Mattias Falkenberg is the league’s fastest forward on the league’s worst team, and time is running out. Desperate to clinch a championship before he's forced to move back to Sweden, Mattias has no desire to babysit the team owner's daughter, not when this season could be their last. Having her around will only be a distraction, and her camera has a way of spotlighting all of the flaws he'd rather keep hidden.
With the franchise sale closing in, Freddie faces an impossible choice: betray the love that wasn’t in the script, or leave her dreams on the cutting-room floor.
