Breaking The Ice

Maya Vance lives by one rule: stay invisible. As a scholarship student and the team’s student medic, her goal is to get into med school and never look back at the town that treated her family like dirt. Jaxson "Jax" Thorne is the town’s golden boy and the captain of the hockey team. He’s the guy who got Maya’s brother expelled, and she hates him for it. But when Maya discovers Jax hiding a crippling hand injury that could end his career, they strike a dangerous deal. She’ll treat him in secret to keep him on the ice; he’ll use his influence to stop the bullies targeting her. But in the quiet, late-night hours of the training room, the ice between them begins to melt—and Maya realizes that the boy she’s supposed to hate is the only one who truly sees her.
