When a fiercely independent sports reporter and her lifelong hockey-playing crush are snowed in together, sparks fly, secrets unravel, and love takes the ice—but will their hearts survive the ultimate face-off?
Sarah Cooper has spent years exposing the scandals of professional hockey players, hiding her heartbreak behind hard-hitting headlines. But when a snowstorm traps her at a lakeside cabin with Travis Jenkins—her childhood best friend, her biggest what-if, and the NHL’s golden boy—she’s forced to confront more than just the stories she writes. Travis isn’t the reckless player she’s painted in her articles; he’s kind, loyal, and the one man who’s always made her heart race faster than a breakaway goal.
For Travis, winning the Stanley Cup is within reach, but the ice feels shaky beneath his skates. The team’s off-ice scandals are threatening everything he’s worked for, and Sarah’s next article could be the one that shatters his career—and their fragile reconnection. As they navigate late-night confessions, snowball fights, and the ghosts of past mistakes, Travis and Sarah find themselves skating the thin line between friendship and something more.
But when the final buzzer sounds, will Sarah choose the story that could make her career—or the love that could melt the ice around her heart? Perfect for fans of second-chance romance and slow-burn chemistry, Ice Melts is a heartfelt story about forgiveness, trust, and the courage it takes to risk it all for love.
