Hands Off The Ice King

Synopsis

This is currently two books in one! Book 1: Levi and Hope (Finished); Book 2: Desmond and Lia (Ongoing) BOOK 1: After years of sacrificing her own dreams to support her boyfriend Connor’s hockey career, Hope Henderson finally lands her dream job as the new Physical Therapist for the New York Glaciers—only to catch him cheating on her with the coach’s daughter. Heartbroken but determined not to lose everything she worked for, Hope chooses to walk away from her past and take the job, even if it means seeing him every day. What she doesn’t expect is her explosive first encounter with Levi Reeve—the team’s star player, Connor’s idol, and a man as infamous for his talent as he is for his attitude. Cold, arrogant, and a strict germaphobe, Levi makes it clear from the start that he doesn’t want Hope anywhere near him. As tensions rise between them, so does an undeniable pull, one that neither of them fully understands nor wants to admit. The more Hope challenges Levi, the more his carefully built walls begin to crack, revealing a man far more complicated than his reputation suggests. And as restraint turns into something far more dangerous, Levi is left with one burning, reckless thought—why the f*ck do I want to pin you down and forget every rule I’ve ever lived by? ~.~ BOOK 2: She’s loved him for half her life. He’s never looked at her as anything but his best friend. Lia Rosewood has been in love with Desmond Clark for as long as she can remember. Next-door neighbors and best friends since birth, they’ve grown up doing everything together—from playing hockey to sharing secrets. But while Lia has quietly loved him for years, Desmond has always seen her as his tomboyish, tough-as-nails best friend. Nothing more. Desmond is the star goalkeeper of the New York Glaciers and one of hockey’s most notorious playboys. Women have never been a problem for him—until one obsessive admirer refuses to take no for an answer. With his career and personal life taking a hit, his CEO suggests the perfect solution: fake a relationship with someone who can convince her he’s taken. And who better for the role than Lia? It should be easy. They’ve been best friends forever. Except somewhere between the fake dates and stolen moments, the lines begin to blur. Desmond starts seeing Lia differently. Beneath the oversized hoodies and tomboyish attitude is a woman he can’t seem to stop noticing. And suddenly, his best friend is looking a lot less like a friend. Since when has she been this pretty—and this d*mn sexy?
