Off the Ice

About Off the Ice

Mara Quinn’s one rule is simple: never fall for the player she’s paid to save.

After a viral locker-room meltdown threatens Colton “Ry” Ryland’s career and the team’s sponsors, senior PR manager Mara Quinn is assigned to become his full-time shadow. She expects an arrogant hockey captain with a temper problem. Instead, she finds a fiercely loyal man who visits sick kids, protects his teammates, and looks at her like he can see straight through every wall she’s built.

Mara has already lost one career to a player who used her and walked away, so Ry is the worst possible temptation: famous, stubborn, protective, and absolutely off-limits. But hotel corridors, late-night diner pie, road games, and charged silences turn their professional arrangement into a slow-burn fight neither of them can keep winning.

When the line finally breaks, Mara and Ry have to choose between hiding behind rules or claiming the love that has become their real home. Off the ice, the man the headlines called dangerous may be the safest place Mara has ever landed.

Complete standalone contemporary hockey romance with open-door heat and a guaranteed HEA; intended for readers 18+.
