Maggie James is ready to trade her soul-crushing job for the independence of her own branding company. Looking for a distraction from her professional frustrations, she finds an unexpected escape in the arms of Vladi Volkov, the Milwaukee Steel Riders’ brooding, enigmatic starting goalie. But for Vladi, who guards his heart behind a fortress of "no-relationship" rules, their one-night stand is a terrifying breach of his defenses. Panicked by the intensity of their connection, he makes a clean—and cold—break, leaving Maggie behind in the middle of the night. Seven months later, the universe forces a collision. The two find themselves trapped at a destination wedding, where the tropical heat is no match for the friction between them. To make matters worse, a booking mishap leaves them sharing a single room and—inevitably—only one bed. Featuring the beloved enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity tropes, *Ice Block* is a spicy, laugh-out-loud hockey romance. As the pair navigates the tight quarters of their shared space, they quickly realize that their unresolved chemistry is impossible to ignore. Will they thaw the ice between them, or will Vladi’s defensive walls prove too thick to break?
