Icebreaker

Description

Anastasia Allen has earned a university scholarship through figure skating and intends to carry that discipline all the way to Team USA. Nate Hawkins, captain of the hockey team, has his own priority: keeping his players competitive. When a facilities problem forces both teams onto the same rink, their schedules, ambitions, and tempers collide. Anastasia has little patience for hockey players, while Nate cannot ignore the skater now disrupting his carefully managed season. Then uncertainty surrounding her skating partnership makes his help unexpectedly important. Their antagonism gives way to attraction as training pressure and shared ice repeatedly bring them together. The novel pairs collegiate sports romance with a conflict between individual control, teamwork, and emotional vulnerability.
