Sometimes, coming home is the hardest game to play.
Owen Stone has spent his life chasing victories on the ice, mastering every shift, every goal, every win. But off the rink, life is unpredictable-and his world is about to change. As a single dad, he's juggling the challenges of parenthood with the pressures of professional hockey, trying to protect the daughter he adores while navigating a life he never imagined.
Gina Bradford is independent, sharp, and passionate about the things she loves-dogs, her craft, and the quiet moments that make life feel whole. She's not looking for love, especially not with a brooding hockey player who seems to skate into her life at the worst possible time. Yet fate-and a dog who knows no boundaries-has other plans.
Thrown together by circumstance, Owen and Gina must navigate shared spaces, unspoken desires, and the delicate balance between attraction and responsibility. With Emma watching, hearts open, and past hurts lingering, they quickly learn that love isn't always a fast break-it's built in the quiet moments, the small gestures, and the courage to show up for each other when it matters most.
Home Ice is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance about family, trust, and choosing the people who make your life feel like home. It's for anyone who believes that the most important victories happen off the ice.
