WHEN THE ICE MELTS Hallie Sutton has her sophomore year figured out-or at least, she likes to pretend she does. Between music classes, unfinished songs, and afternoon shifts at The Copper Mug, Hallie doesn't have much time for distractions. Especially not the university hockey team that seems determined to turn her café into their second home. And definitely not Wes Prescott. Wes is charming, talented, impossible to ignore... and completely off-limits. Because he has a girlfriend. So Hallie keeps things simple. She makes his coffee. He gets on her nerves. They trade sarcastic comments across the counter, and somewhere between post-practice coffee runs, late-night conversations, and crowded hockey games, Wes becomes more than just another customer. He becomes her friend. But behind the easy smiles and #27 jersey, Wes is carrying more pressure than anyone realizes. His relationship is falling apart, hockey is beginning to feel heavier than the game he once loved, and everyone seems to have an idea of who Wes Prescott is supposed to become. Everyone except Hallie. She doesn't need him to be the star player. She just sees Wes. And when friendship starts becoming lingering looks, almost-kisses, and feelings neither of them can ignore, Hallie discovers that some things are easier to turn into songs than say out loud. He belongs on the ice. She belongs behind a piano. Neither expected to find home in each other. But sometimes, the best love stories begin when the ice finally melts.
