Temptation On Ice: A MM Hockey Romance
Two shattered pasts. One chance to heal.

Sebastian
Under the brightest lights, I'm supposed to be unshakable-captain of a brand-new hockey team, single dad to a boy who's the mirror of the wife I lost, and son to parents who think love comes with instructions. But the truth is, I'm cracking under the weight of expectations I can't seem to meet. I'm desperate for something-anything-that feels like peace.

Then I meet Tucker. Flannel-wearing, steady-eyed, and achingly patient, he trains service dogs for wounded veterans-and somehow, he sees right through me. One visit to his puppy-filled facility is all it takes for my son to light up... and for me to feel something I haven't in years: my racing mind to calm.

When I finally let my grief spill free, Tucker doesn't just listen-he holds space for it. Holds me. And suddenly, I'm thinking about him everywhere I shouldn't. But letting him in means challenging everything I thought I knew about myself-and risking a chance at something more than just the next game.

Tucker
I walked away from my career in law enforcement after losing two partners in the line of duty. Now I keep my world small-just me, my staff, the dogs we train, and the veterans whose lives they change. Publicity isn't my thing, but when the Hydras hockey team offers to sponsor a service dog, my nonprofit needs the boost too badly to say no.

I wasn't counting on meeting Sebastian. Gorgeous, driven, hopelessly devoted to his son... and carrying a grief I recognize in my bones. I know better than to fall for a straight guy, but every time he looks at me like I'm his safe place, my defenses crumble.

Our connection is fierce and fragile all at once-something that could shatter when faced with the scars we both hide. But maybe, if we're brave enough, this time the temptation is worth the heartbreak.

About the Author

Adrian R. Hale is an enthusiastic lover of life who embraces big dreams, both for herself and in her books. She writes spicy contemporary romances featuring heroes with secret cinnamon roll sides and dream-chasing heroines. There’s a little angst, a lot of swoon, and all the steam lovingly sprinkled into her stories.

Adrian loves fast cars, baking sweet treats, hiking, and is affectionately known as an agent of chaos to those closest to her. A self-professed caffeine addict, she loves a good latte, and will never turn down a tea party, especially in celebration of little milestones. When she’s not writing or reading, Adrian can be found cuddling with her four dogs and husband, watching the 2005 Pride & Prejudice, DIY renovating her home near Austin, Texas, or listening to Taylor Swift.
