Ice Block: Milwaukee Steel Riders Book 2 - An Off-Season, Enemies to Lovers, Only One Bed, Hockey Rom Com

When a broody Russian hockey player ghosts you after the best night of your life, running into him again isn't just awkward — it's war.

Maggie James has big dreams and zero patience for dead-end situations. Trapped in a soul-crushing job she's outgrown and quietly building plans for her own branding company, she deserves one spectacular night off. One perfectly charming, outrageously handsome distraction. What she doesn't deserve is waking up alone to cold sheets and zero explanation.

Vladi Volkov, starting goalie for the Milwaukee Steel Riders, is built from walls and silence. Getting benched has him drowning his frustration in bourbon — until Maggie walks in and dismantles every carefully constructed defense he has. His ironclad no-relationships rule exists for reasons he refuses to examine, which is exactly why he slips out before sunrise. Problem solved. Feelings blocked. Crisis averted.

Except fate has a wicked sense of humor.

When circumstances strand them together — sharing one bed, one roof, and approximately zero personal space — the tension between them crackles louder than a packed arena. Maggie isn't interested in forgiving a man who treated her like a forgettable footnote. Vladi isn't prepared for a woman who refuses to let him hide behind his carefully constructed ice.

This off-season romantic comedy proves that the hardest shots to block are the ones aimed straight at your heart — and that enemies make the most electrifying lovers.
