"Burning Ice" is a sports romance that dives deep into obsession, passion, and the clash of two very different worlds. Billie Carter, 23, has learned to survive on her own terms. After a tough upbringing, she's built a life for herself, working as a dancer to make ends meet. Confident, curvy, and unapologetically herself, she's used to attention-just not from someone like Nate Griffith. A grumpy, ruthless pro hockey player, Nate is a man haunted by his past, and when his teammates drag him to a strip club to get his mind off life, he's not prepared for the fire that is Billie. Their connection is immediate, though neither of them is ready to admit it. As Nate's obsession with Billie grows, he'll do anything to claim her-but Billie's not easy to control. As they navigate the heat between them, both will have to confront their darkest secrets and decide how far they're willing to go for love-and for power. "Burning Ice" is a slow-burn romance that explores the boundaries between desire and control, with a fiery chemistry that ignites when two broken souls collide. **Again, this book is a SLOW burn, it will start out a little slow with the main characters dealing with a lot of complicated emotions and life events. as I'm trying to make the timeline as realistic as possible. Please keep that in mind and enjoy the journey**
