Harding Hearts
A Shots on Goal Valentine’s Day Special
They found each other by chance.
Now they’re choosing each other—every day.
Welcome to the world of the New York Otters.

After fate brought them together in a quiet bookstore and love changed everything they thought they knew about their futures, Chase and Nikki are building the life they dreamed of—together.
But even happily-ever-afters take work.
Between demanding careers, big dreams, and the weight of everything they’ve already survived, they’re learning that love isn’t just about how it begins…
It’s about how you hold on.
