I'm the notoriously angry, grouchy D.C. Eagles defenseman who just can’t keep his temper in check—a temper that leads to a fifteen-game suspension from the NHL. As if that’s not bad enough, I'm forced into a short-term youth-hockey coaching gig—which my manager swears will “rebuild my image.” But what I didn’t expect was for a gorgeous, spunky blonde to stomp onto the ice on day one and lecture me about being rude to her little brother. Something about this spitfire of a woman, and the boy she’s so protective of, has my defenses melting. And if I’m not careful, I’ll burst into flames, forever melting the ice I’ve carefully kept around my heart. This is a closed-door romcom with mild language. Trigger warnings include parental substance abuse and dealing with grief/loss of parents.

Leah Brunner is an Amazon Top 50 best-selling author of sweet (but sexy) romance. She loves writing explosive chemistry and relatable characters who will make you laugh (and possibly cry). When she's not writing, she can also be found petting her Maine Coon cat or watching funny cat videos with her kids. Although she's a Kansas girl at heart, she's a proud Air Force spouse and currently lives in Ohio with her husband and three children.

Dane Anderson is an in-demand narrator with a background in film and stage acting.

Alex Picard is an audiobook narrator who brings a lifetime of work in the theatre as a classically trained actor and director to her work behind the mic. With an MFA in theatre from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a background in Shakespeare, she excels at connecting listeners to the author's world. A theatre teacher for more than twenty years and a Boston native, she is an accidental gardener and once ran a marathon on purpose (and not while being chased).
