Ice and Wounds: A MM College Hockey Romance

By: Ackles, Scarlett

Ares Lambert has everything to prove. Kicked out by his family for being gay, he transfers to Willowreach University, ready to rebuild his life and his game. Fast, fierce, and unafraid to speak his truth, Ares is a wildfire nobody on the team knows how to handle.

Damien Templeton is the golden boy captain with a perfect public image and a private war with trauma, triggered by his demanding father. Closeted and haunted, Damien believes no one could ever want the real him, so he hides behind his skill and cold perfection.

When the coach forces them to room together, the ice between them cracks, but their rivalry only deepens. Yet beneath the tension, the fiery clashes turn into heated kisses no one can deny.

Lust is easy, trust is harder, and as their secrets unravel and past wounds reopen, Ares and Damien must decide if they'll keep fighting each other... or start fighting for each other?
