Breaking the Ice

He left her for his dream.
Now his future depends on her.

Carter Evans had everything he ever wanted-his dream contract, a rising career in professional hockey, and a future built on ambition.

Five years ago, he made the choice that cost him everything else.

Including her.

Elara Vance rebuilt her life from the ground up. Stronger. Colder. Untouchable. As one of the best physical therapists in the field, she doesn't make room for the past-especially not for the man who once walked away without looking back.

But when a devastating injury threatens Carter's career, there's only one person trusted to bring him back.

Her.

Forced into close proximity, old wounds resurface, buried emotions ignite, and the line between professional and personal begins to blur. Because healing isn't just physical-and some damage cuts deeper than any injury.

He broke her heart.

Now she holds his future in her hands.

The question is... will she fix him-or finally let him fall?

Perfect for fans of:

• Second chance romance
• Slow burn tension
• Emotional, character-driven love stories
• Sports (hockey) romance

A gripping, emotional story about love, regret, and the impossible choice between holding on and letting go.
