They call him ‘Wilde Man’. Rumor has it he’s an animal on the ice and between the sheets. Like the rest of the female population, I’ve been crushing on Clancy Wilde, the captain of Boston University’s hockey team, since the first time I saw him. Big, blond, and charming, he ticks all the boxes. When we find ourselves at a wedding, drunk and flirting, I know I can finally check this tattooed, bad boy, hockey player off my wish list. One night is all it was meant to be, until I see two pink lines on the pregnancy test. How did the notch on my belt turn into a ball and chain?

Oliver Ice, one of Boston University’s notorious hockey players, has been on my radar since I slammed into his rock-hard body during my first week of college, three years ago. He helped me to my feet, muttered an apology, and ran off after his girlfriend, dashing my hopes of a happily ever after. Now, he’s the bartender where I work, and this time, very much single. Night after night I watch the tall, broad, and sexy right winger mixing drinks and being Mr. Personality, while I remind myself how horribly my last relationship ended. But when Oliver overhears a private conversation, he offers to be the one thing I need more than anything—my pretend boyfriend at a dreaded family reunion. One weekend was all it was meant to be. How do I protect my fragile heart when the lines between fantasy and reality blur with our first kiss? ICED can be read as a standalone.

Attending Boston University was something we were supposed to do together, until Shaw Masters, my brother’s best friend, broke my heart and chased our dream without me. Choosing bromance over romance, Shaw is now living his best life, playing hockey for the Boston Terriers while I’ve wasted a year letting my shattered heart rob me of my future But not anymore. Now, also attending B.U., I’m determined to forget he exists. Who cares if he’s everywhere I turn with his familiar, lingering gaze drawing me in? Who cares if his presence stirs up old feelings best forgotten? He might be the goalie, but it’s my turn to block him from gliding back into my heart.

Avoiding bad boy hockey player Marshall Winters has been one of my goals since he did me wrong four years ago. However, with both of us attending Boston University and his younger sister being my best friend, it’s damn near impossible. Then he saves me from a dangerous situation, whisking me away to his family’s cabin, changing everything. It’s just the two of us, no distractions, and nothing to keep us apart except my own rapidly fading reservations. Now, I’m getting hooked on the one person I shouldn’t be.

Eight hundred and eighty days. That’s how long it’s been since my no good ex broke my heart. And I was doing just fine without him. But now, with both of us playing hockey for Boston University and running in the same circles, I can’t seem to avoid him—no matter how hard I try. And boy do I try. It seems my former boyfriend is cockier than ever—if that’s even possible. He thinks by aiming his crooked, dimpled smile my way, all the pain he caused will be forgotten. Not a chance. No longer the same naive girl, it’ll take more than striking good looks and flirty banter to trip up my plans for the future. I’ve got goals, and giving Donovan Archer a second chance with my heart isn’t one of them.
