He has a perfect record, a pro contract within his grasp, and the unwavering loyalty of his team. Everything is exactly where he wants it. Until Shane “Silent” Novak walks into his locker room. Shane is an invader. A brutal, stone-faced enforcer from a rival team, and the one man who shattered Liam’s championship dreams last season. He’s also Liam’s new teammate. And, in a move engineered by a coach from hell, his new roommate. Forced together on the road, their bitter rivalry explodes in the close quarters of hotel rooms and steamy locker rooms. Every shared glance is a battle, every accidental touch a spark in a powder keg. They hate each other, but their animosity is charged with a raw, undeniable heat they refuse to acknowledge. But when a reckless play puts Shane’s career in jeopardy, Liam is the only one there to pick up the pieces. Forced into the role of caretaker, he discovers the broken man behind the butcher’s mask, and the carefully constructed walls around his own heart begin to crumble. The hatred that once defined them ignites into a dangerous, all-consuming blaze that could either save them both or burn their futures to the ground. Ice Cold Rivalry is a high-heat, standalone MM enemies-to-lovers college hockey romance with a guaranteed HEA. Expect explosive chemistry, raw emotions, and a rivalry that ignites both on and off the ice.
