Galen McKenna can't believe the chance of becoming a pro ice hockey player that fell into his lap. He's determined to make it through the vigorous training at the prestigious Cristalcrest Ice Hockey Academy, which has created international championship players over the past 20 years. 

He's ready to leave his troubled past behind and embrace his future in the small, snowy town. He has one goal: 'Don't be a melter and screw it up!' 
With few distractions in the area, he shouldn't struggle to stay on track... Right?

Quirky figure skater Hunter Fairlane helps her father take care of the Academy's often troubled bursary boys to whom he compassionately gives a home.

Two years ago, her mother passed away just before the competition she'd been training Hunter and her skating partner, Robert Teeger, for. Hunter made a promise to herself to complete what they'd started, even if it was a detour from her set course. 

This year, she vows to be on the ice with moody Robbie in honour of her mother and to help her heartbroken father relive one of his fondest memories. 

Will the cheeky Irishman who crashes into her life with his soulful blue eyes and sharp wit finally be the ultimate love she'd been dreaming of, or will his self-destructive tendencies lead them both to ruin?

This stand-alone novel, featuring Galen McKenna, is a spin-off from my soapie Hunting the Fairy Tale. No pre-knowledge required.

I'm running, my dress bunched up in my fists. But I'm not running for my life I'm running for his, and when I see him I stop. There is one bulky man on either side of him, they have their arms linking his, he's kneeling in front of someone with raven black hair. As we get closer, I see his pain in the way he's holding himself, his brown hair is clouding his face. Something catches in my throat as I see him bent forward, almost looking limp. The panic is slowly eating me up on the inside. 'Please lift your head, let me see your eyes' I pray inside my head. He can't be gone. It's almost like he hears my prayers as he looks up, his blue eyes as deep as the ocean depths, knocks the breath out of me as per usual. I close my eyes and thank God for keeping him alive. The right side of his jaw is all purple and red. A cut on the other side of his face, which is oozing with the red liquid. He suddenly looks past the black haired male to look at us, reassurance washing over his features. It's when he sees me that his eyes widen, and the panic grows by the second. He goes from a slump to picking himself upright. He's hurt. Badly. The black haired man spins around as we walk closer in their direction. All 6 of us stop as I catch a glimpse of the face. A deadly grin appears on his wicked face. "Boys, I've been waiting for you" He shouts loud and clear. "And you brought the girl" * Crescent Bay Dawson was once popular but now she lives in the shadow of her twin brother. The only person who notices her is the cocky, egotistic, Star Quarterback of the school; Elliott Grayson.
