BLURB:
I’ve known Maverick Reed since I was eleven years old. I knew I loved him at nineteen, started planning a future with him at twenty, before life decided it had other plans and ripped it all away.
One life-altering event had me making a decision I thought was best for both of us. A decision I never gave him a chance to weigh in on. Hellbent on keeping my distance despite my heart's protests, I ran off to Spain, only to become an Olympic gold medalist in avoidance when I came back.
That is, until two kids who need exactly what Mav once did find themselves needing a home. Now avoiding him and the feelings I’ve tried my hardest to ignore seem impossible.
Our arrangement may have started “for the kids,” but after long-buried secrets come to light, things begin to change. And the closer we get, the harder it gets to deny ourselves the very thing we’ve always wanted.
A family we built together.
Crack the Ice is a spicy hockey romance that has both breast & cervical cancer rep. Their HEA is hard-fought, but so worth it. Crack the Ice is book three in the Tampa Bay Hawks series, but can be read as a standalone.
Tropes:
Single Guardian
Second Chance Romance
Teammates sister
He falls first
Found Family
Neurodivergent FMC
Open Door Spice
Mental health rep
Friends to strangers to lovers
