Ice Between Us

He's the NHL's most feared enforcer.

She's the one person who refuses to be intimidated by him.

When a devastating injury sidelines Detroit Diesel defenseman Wyatt Cole, the last thing he wants is to spend the off-season in the quiet city of Sarnia, Ontario, recovering under the watchful eye of a stubborn sports physiotherapist who sees straight through his bad attitude.

Avery Bennett has spent years rebuilding broken athletes, but Wyatt is different. Brooding. Reckless. Impossible to ignore. Beneath the fights, the headlines, and the carefully crafted image of hockey's favorite villain is a man carrying more pain than anyone realizes.

What begins as forced proximity inside cold arenas and grueling rehab sessions quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Late-night practices. Lingering touches. Heated arguments that blur into undeniable tension.

But Wyatt's career hangs by a thread, and Avery knows falling for a professional athlete could destroy everything she's worked for. Especially when the pressures of fame, media scrutiny, and Wyatt's past threaten to pull them apart before they ever have a real chance together.

Because some hits change the game.
Others change your life.
