Ice and Fire

At Pinecrest University, where hockey reigns supreme, Harper Morgan has it all: a supportive best friend, a promising academic future, and the perfect boyfriend, Connor West, the star captain of the Pinecrest Wolves. But perfection has its cracks, and Harper has spent months ignoring hers, quietly nursing the sting of Connor's betrayal while convincing herself that love means loyalty-even when it hurts.

Enter Ryder Kane, the cocky new transfer who takes Pinecrest by storm. On the ice, he's Connor's fiercest rival, threatening the balance of the team with his skill and swagger. Off the ice, he's Harper's worst nightmare: infuriatingly arrogant, maddeningly perceptive, and impossible to ignore.

When Harper and Ryder are forced to team up for a semester-long project, their icy standoff begins to melt. Banter turns into unexpected confessions, and the lines between hate and something far more dangerous start to blur. For the first time, Harper sees herself through new eyes-strong, deserving, and unafraid to demand more.

But nothing comes without a cost. As tensions rise between Ryder and Connor, Harper is torn between the life she thought she wanted and the one that sets her soul on fire. And when secrets from the past resurface, she'll have to decide whether to play it safe or risk everything for a love that could change everything.

Enemies can become lovers, but only if the ice between them doesn't shatter first.
