Ice Ice Baby (Boston Bobcats #1)

He's the plot twist she didn't see coming...

Maya Silver doesn't believe in happily ever afters, nor does she want one. She's too busy managing the Book Nook, a cozy Boston bookstore where romance novels fly off the shelves. After one too many disappointments, she's learned that love is unpredictable, and most promises don't last. So love in real life? That's a story Maya's shelved for good.

Enter Nicholas "Cole" Barrett, the Boston Bobcats' star player. He's built his whole life around the game, and it's paid off. He's got his routine perfected until Maya crashes into it with stories, sarcasm, and a smile he can't stop thinking about. She's not chasing a puck or a paycheck, and for once, he's not thinking about the next practice or game, he's thinking about her.

Maya's not interested in being won over, but Cole is used to pursuing things worth winning. And as they spend more time together, the harder it is to ignore the fiery pull between them and the way their connection feels like something more. But having spent her whole life believing true love was only found in books, will Maya be brave enough to begin a love story of her own?

Ice Ice Baby is a spicy hockey romance with heart, heat, humour, and a guaranteed HEA. This is the first book in the Boston Bobcats series and can be read as a standalone.
