SOFIA
I've spent years perfecting my Instagram aesthetic and partying at charity galas while my father built the Frost Giants hockey team from nothing. When my mother runs off to Europe with her twenty-something pool boy and my step-brother starts plotting a hostile takeover, I suddenly have to prove I'm more than just a pretty face with a trust fund.
Enter Marcus "Mack" McAllister—veteran player, team mentor, and the only person willing to help me navigate this world of power plays and penalty shots. With storm-blue eyes that see right through my carefully crafted image and a smile that melts more than just the ice, he's quickly becoming much more than just my hockey translator.
But as my step-brother's schemes escalate and secrets from Mack's past threaten everything we're fighting for, I'm facing the hardest choice of my privileged life: cash out and walk away, or risk my heart on a game I never wanted to play.
MACK
Thirteen years with the Frost Giants taught me everything about fighting through the pain—on and off the ice. At thirty-four, I've accepted my role as the veteran voice in the locker room with my playing days numbered. What I didn't expect was Sofia Kane suddenly deciding to be more than just the team owner's party-girl daughter.
When she shows up determined to save her father's legacy, I tell myself I'm just helping a rookie learn the ropes. But there's nothing rookie about the way she makes me feel, or how quickly she's breaking through defenses I've spent years perfecting.
With my career winding down, a tempting offer from another team, and a step-brother determined to destroy us both, I'm facing a game-time decision that could cost me everything. Because some penalties—like falling for the boss—come with consequences that last long after the final buzzer.
Rivals on the Ice sizzles with forbidden attraction, high-stakes power plays, and the thrill of risking it all for love. This emotional sports romance features a determined heiress finding her true strength, a veteran player with a complicated past, and the scorching chemistry that ignites when professional boundaries blur. It proves the most unexpected partnerships create the hottest flames.
