The First to Fracture: An Obsessed Hero Hockey Romance

By M.S. Siddiqui

THEY CALL HIM THE IRON CAPTAIN.

Silas Vane is a man of ice and discipline. As the Captain of the Northport Sentinels, his life is defined by order, perimeters, and a total lack of emotion. He doesn't break. He doesn't slip. And he definitely doesn't notice the woman behind the camera.

Sloane Emerson was hired to save the team's reputation, not to shatter the Captain's focus. She's the sunshine to his cold front, a vibrant chaos factor in his carefully controlled world. She's the only one who isn't afraid of the Ice King, because she's the only one who sees the man hidden beneath the jersey.

HE WAS THE FIRST TO FRACTURE.

Silas told himself he was just being professional. But soon, he isn't just watching Sloane-he's noticing everything. The way her breath hitches in the cold. The scent of rain on her skin. The way she's the only person who makes the ice feel warm.

Now, the Iron Captain is at a breaking point. Silas has to make a choice: Keep the letter on his chest, or claim the woman who broke his heart open.

The First to Fracture is a standalone Obsessed Hero Hockey Romance. It features a Grumpy x Sunshine dynamic, Forced Proximity, and a hero who Falls First and Harder. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.
