Hart - La série

Mon nom est Jason Hart. En tant que meilleur plaqueur défensif au pays, le football américain, c’est toute ma vie. Je m'autoproclame donc célibataire depuis quelques années. Et je vis bien comme ça. Il ne me reste que quelques années avant de devoir prendre ma retraite, alors perdre du temps à autre chose qu’au foot d’ici là me semble futile. C’est ce que je pensais jusqu’à ce que je rencontre par hasard un petit garçon qui venait tout juste de perdre son père. On avait plus en commun que ce que vous pourriez croire et cela a créé un lien particulier entre nous. Alors que notre amitié s’épanouit, mes sentiments pour sa mère ne font que s’amplifier. Je sais qu’Addison, veuve depuis très peu de temps, n’est pas prête à s’investir dans une relation. Mais je veux apprendre à la connaître malgré toutes ces fois où elle m’a rejeté. À ma grande surprise, Addison et son fils me sont allés droit au coeur. Il reste à voir si j'ai, moi aussi, atteint les leurs.

We’re the Harts. Between an engagement, a wedding and an adoption, we’ve had the best year of our lives. Things have never looked better for any of us. But just because you say “I do” doesn’t mean you get a happily ever after. And sometimes, you get tackled more in life than you ever did on the football field. The only way we’re going to make it through is if we do it together…Hart to Heart.

In an instant he became her hero. Then he became her lover and friend. My name is Jaxon Hart. You watched me grow up. You watched me fight for my life. Now, I’m fighting for hers. From the second I laid eyes on Annika, I wanted to help her. Protect her. Vindicate her. But she’s got baggage to get through. Hell, we both do. But a funny thing happens when you finally connect with someone in a different way than you ever have before. The baggage doesn’t seem so heavy. I supposed that’s really the only thing that matters when the heart gets involved.

My name is Heath Germaine. As the starting cornerback for the Southeast San Antonio University football team, all eyes are on me. Under such crushing pressure, there’s no room for error in my bid to reach the NFL and help support my large family. With stakes this high, who can afford distractions? Not me, which is how I ended up in a fake relationship with the most irritating woman I know – Lauren Bagley. As a competitive gymnast, her only focus is securing a spot at the college nationals competition. If being her pretend boyfriend helps keep the idiot guys on her team off her back and the cleat chasers off mine, it’s a price I’m willing to pay. Nothing is real. We’re only pretending. Everything’s a game. So why does she suddenly matter to me?

Failure is not an option… My name is Paul Franklin. You might remember me as Jaxon Hart’s former boss. Now, I go by a different title – entrepreneur. As the owner of a flailing bar, work is my life. With every penny of my savings on the line, living on the property doesn’t even feel like a hardship so much as a necessity. I expected lots of late nights when I bought this place. What I didn’t expect was a new employee that I can’t keep my mind off of no matter how hard I try. As a single mom, Kiersten Willoughby’s sole focus is on providing for her son. Yet another reason to keep my hands off of her and stay focused on my goals. She doesn’t need the distractions that come with a new relationship any more than I do. But it feels almost impossible to stay away, especially when she takes her breaks moving on the dance floor, like she knows seeing her sway is my kryptonite. Still, I’m determined to stay away because complications mean failure, and that is not an option. Success if the only thing good enough for both of us. Nothing else matters.

No one has ever wanted me so why would she? My name is Kade Maxwell. You probably don’t remember me. I’m not a rich athlete. I’m not a bar owner. Hell, I’m not even in medical school like the guy I thought was my older brother. I’m just a college guy with no family trying to figure out the direction my life is taking. That means taking classes, gaming with my online friends and working behind the counter of a premiere sports bar. I enjoy it. I make good tips and have regular social interaction with interesting people. Unfortunately, that social interaction has taken an awkward turn now that the woman I love from a distance is slinging drinks behind the bar with me. As the soon-to-be sister-in-law of my boss, Nicole Willoughby is off-limits. Not just because she’s too good for me — and with her beauty both inside and out, she is — but because she’s still healing from the worst kind of betrayal. It makes my stomach turn just thinking about the abuse she suffered at her ex’s hands. When he begins poking around in her new life, I instinctively know someone like me, who no one would call an alpha male, could never protect her. But I can offer up the empty bedroom in my apartment so she never has to fear being alone. It seems to be a solution that works for everyone, except maybe my bleeding heart. But I’ll put up with it as long as she is safe. Because I’d rather have her as a friend and a roommate than not have her at all.

When you’ve always been the balanced one, life sends you an unexpected slip... My name is Ellery McIlroy. A former college gymnast, I’ve settled into the adult life I worked so hard for. Great relationship? Check. Solid career? Check. Planned out future? Check. I may be predictable, but at least life never throws me for a loop. Until it does. Unceremoniously dumped by my long-time boyfriend, I’m left stunned, with nothing left but my job. And it gets worse—I work for his mother. Broken and alone, I venture out into a stormy night to drown my sorrows. Ellery McIlroy, the good, reliable girl, was ready to take a drunken risk for the first time in seven years. I didn’t expect a stranger in that bar to flip my world upside down. As the center forward for the San Antonio Slingers, Liam is at a crossroads in his career. Feeling his own kind of brokenness, he has every right to be angry at the world. But with me, he’s the opposite. Liam helps me find the courage to explore and try new things. To stand up for myself. To put myself first for once. And I want to do the same for him. We may not make sense, the former gymnast and the hockey player, but somehow we work in ways no one never imagined possible. Turns out that when you have a hand to hold on to, it’s a lot easier to stick your landing.
