Cold As Puck

Mason Vale lives his life by a rigid set of rules: stay focused, maintain control, and keep his eyes locked on the prize. As a disciplined hockey player, he has little patience for anything that threatens his steady ascent. That is, until he meets Eli Carter. A freshman on a hockey scholarship, Eli is a walking whirlwind of chaos—loud, relentlessly flirtatious, and undeniably gorgeous. He represents everything Mason is programmed to resist, yet he manages to burrow deep under the veteran’s skin from the moment they step onto the ice. Their rivalry begins as a classic clash of temperaments, fueled by bruised egos and competitive tension. But as the friction between them shifts from the locker room to their private moments, the lines between combatants and something more start to blur. Mason knows that hatred is safe and predictable, but the undeniable magnetic pull between them is anything but. In a world where reputation is everything, falling for his most irritating antagonist might just be the most dangerous move Mason has ever made. Cold As Puck is a sizzling, character-driven story about the thin line between rivals and lovers, proving that the hottest fires often start in the freezing cold.
