NHL sportscasters Layla MacKenzie and Cole Pasternak have an on-air rivalry hot enough to melt ice.
I don't know why Cole Pasternak hates me. I just met him, and he told me to catch the next plane out of Miami. The former NHL star thinks I'm underqualified to be his co-commentator, and he's not wrong. As a college football announcer, and a young one to boot, my hockey knowledge is limited, a fact Cole never lets me forget.
A series of incidents involving a Porsche and runaway coffee confirms Cole's belief that I'm clumsy, clueless, eye-candy hired to boost ratings. I've worked with condescending men like him before and always managed to win them over. That hope fades when Cole declares his intentions to sabotage my career. Usually, I wouldn't care what an arrogant playboy thinks of me, even if he is drop-dead gorgeous. But my dream job hangs in the balance. If my hard work and cutting-edge reporting fail to impress him, I'll win Cole's respect the only way I know how, by beating him at his own game.
Cole learns I'm a formidable adversary as we challenge each other in a battle of wits and wills. Our chemistry heats the ice, pervading the air with sexual tension and blurring the lines between loathing and lust. I can handle Cole being a jerk. It's his glimpses of humanity that bring me to my knees. Are Cole's random acts of kindness an olive branch or a way of lowering my defenses and moving in for the kill?
Fire on Ice is an 84,000-word steamy enemy-to-lovers hockey romance. This novel would sit nicely beside Sally Thorne's The Hating Game as the protagonist's lightly sarcastic, first-person point of view is infused with humor and romantic tension. It will appeal to contemporary romance enthusiasts and fans of flirty dialog, strong females, hot athletes, office satires, and the proverbial happy ending.
