Melting Point

He's the NHL's most hated captain. She's the only one who can save his career. But first, he has to survive her rink-and the Australian sun.

I was the "King of the Cold" until one viral meltdown turned my career into a national punchline. Now, my agent has exiled me to a tiny coastal town in Australia to "lay low." No cameras. No hockey. Just 100-degree heat and a crumbling ice rink that shouldn't exist. My plan was to hide, but the owner of The Ice Box just gave me an ultimatum: coach her misfit youth team or she'll tell the paparazzi exactly where I am. Sarah Jenkins is bossy, unimpressed by my stats, and unfortunately, the only thing more captivating than the game I'm losing.

I don't care if Liam Miller is a hockey god; in my town, he's just a tourist who doesn't know how to fix a leaky pipe. I have thirty days to save my family's heritage rink from developers, and having a disgraced superstar as a temporary coach is the "Dine Out" miracle I didn't ask for. I need his fame to save the rink; he needs my silence to save his life. It's a simple business arrangement. But as the ice begins to melt, the line between faking it and falling for the enemy is getting dangerously thin.

​He's out of his element. She's in her prime. In the heat of an Australian summer, someone is bound to get burned.

​This steamy, small-town sports romance features a grumpy hockey pro, a sunshine rink owner, and plenty of "only one bed" energy. No cheating. Standalone. HEA.
