Sophie Jameson was once the girl who lit up every room. Big laugh. Bigger smile. Always the first to spill the gossip and the last to leave the party. Until Brad. He was charming at first. Sweet. The kind of guy who made her believe in fairytales-until he showed her a very different side. A cruel side. A violent side. The side that left Sophie bruised, guarded, and questioning everything she thought she knew about love. Now she doesn't trust easily. Doesn't let people close. The spark that once defined her is gone. Enter Dylan Matthews. Defenseman for the Titans. The team flirt. Loud, playful, golden-retriever energy wrapped up in hockey gear. He's the boy who never stops chirping, never stops smiling-and somehow, he notices the girl who's forgotten how to. Sophie doesn't think she's ready for someone like Dylan. Someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. Someone who looks at her like she's still the girl she used to be. But the more time she spends with him-and with Grace, who refuses to let her slip away-the more Sophie begins to remember that she isn't broken. She's healing. She's laughing again. She's falling. And maybe, just maybe, Dylan Matthews is the one who can remind her what love is supposed to feel like. A story of heartbreak, healing, friendship, and the kind of love that mends even the deepest wounds-Mending On Ice will break your heart, then piece it back together.
