Breaking the Ice: A Gay Hockey Romance
Finn

Hockey has been my whole life, and I've dedicated every waking moment to making it to the NHL. But lately, I'm feeling burnt out and unsure if I'll ever reach my dream. I need something-no, someone-to shake things up. Enter Ollie, a quirky guy with glasses and a book in hand, who seems completely out of place at the crowded college party where we meet. I accidentally spill my drink on him, and in my attempt to apologize, I offer him my lucky hockey jacket. Seeing him wear my jacket does something to me-it makes me feel protective in a way I can't explain. When I find out he's open to exploring his sexuality, my heart races. He only wants a casual fling, but I'm up for the challenge. I'm not letting this opportunity slip through my fingers.

Ollie

I'm an introverted computer science major who sticks to the library, avoiding the chaos of college social life. I've always identified as straight, but my charismatic and fiercely loyal cousin has always been out and proud, which makes my journey to understanding my own feelings complicated. Then Finn stumbles into my life, all muscles and messy blond hair, teasing me to give him a chance. He's persistent, and I'm curious. I accept his challenge, thinking it's just a bit of fun. But the more time I spend with him, the deeper I fall. When Finn faces a career-threatening injury, everything changes. I have to decide whether to risk it all for him or retreat back to my comfort zone.

Breaking the Ice is the first book in the Frozen Hearts series. It combines the humor of a jock-meets-nerd romance with the emotional rollercoaster of discovering one's identity. With laugh-out-loud moments, dramatic tension, and heartwarming scenes, this story explores how love can bloom in the most unexpected places and how, sometimes, taking a chance on someone is the biggest game changer of all. The Frozen Hearts series follows a close-knit group of friends navigating love, life, and hockey in college, each finding their way to a happily ever after.
