LILY
Landing a year-long assignment to cover NHL star Carter Knox should've been my big break—until I meet the man himself. Cold, guarded, and infuriatingly hot, he shuts me down at every turn with those storm-gray eyes that hide more secrets than I can count.
I'm determined to crack his ice-cold exterior for my story, using every trick in my arsenal. But the deeper I dig, the more I see glimpses of the real man beneath the reputation—vulnerable, haunted, and magnetic in ways that make me forget why I'm really here.
The more walls I break down, the more dangerous this gets. Because falling for him is committing journalism's cardinal sin, and Carter Knox might just be worth throwing away everything I've worked for.
CARTER
Hockey is the only thing that makes sense in my life—no complications, no messy emotions, just the ice beneath my skates and the weight of secrets I've carried for years.
Then Lily Grant crashes into my carefully controlled world with her probing questions, stubborn determination, and a body that makes it impossible to think straight. She wants my story—the one I've buried so deep no one has ever found it.
I should keep her at arm's length. I should remember that journalists destroy everything they touch. But when she looks at me like she sees beyond the mask, I find myself wanting to risk everything I've protected for so long.
Expose on the Ice is the first in a steamy, emotional hockey romance series featuring a brooding player with a dark past, a tenacious journalist who won't take no for an answer, and the sizzling forbidden tension that ignites when professional boundaries blur. With all the heat of enemies-to-lovers and the heart of a redemption story, this romance delivers a guaranteed HEA.
