Hot and Cold
A College Hockey Romance
In the game of love, who will melt first?
Pre-med student and captain of Thatcher College’s hockey team, Luke Prescott is known as the “Ice Man” on campus, and that’s just how he wants it. With the NHL draft and graduation on the horizon, distractions are the last thing Luke can afford. His best friends are discipline and focus, with no time for interruptions.
Too bad for Luke, he’s just been assigned a social media project with Jax Silva, a junior who’s anything but predictable, changing majors as often as her clothes. Granted, she looks tempting in everything she wears and has infiltrated his every thought, but Luke won’t let his world be turned upside down again.
Despite the chance of frostbite, Jax is determined to thaw the “Ice Man” and secure a coveted internship position too. If only the hockey grump would just cooperate and let her past the front door. So what if she’s proposing a sexy team calendar. What’s the big deal? And if she shivers at his touch, it’s because he’s as cold as ice, not because he makes her hot. No, despite the campus rumors, their teaming up is purely due to their assignment, and nothing more. Right?
This match might need to go into overtime.
It's game on in this sizzling campus romance.
