Melt His Heart (Flower of Ice Book 1)

Julian has spent his life constrained by the rigid expectations of his royal lineage, performing his duties with a grace that hides a lonely, aching heart. When he finds himself unexpectedly forced into the world of professional hockey, he encounters Carson, a star athlete whose rugged exterior masks a surprisingly gentle soul. Carson is a man of few words but deep actions, and his patience with Julian is as intoxicating as it is rare. What begins as a clash of two very different worlds slowly transforms into an intimate dance of trust and discovery. Carson is the definition of a gentleman, prioritizing Julian’s comfort and well-being above his own desires, creating a slow-burn connection that smolders with quiet intensity. As the ice melts between them, they must navigate the pressures of public scrutiny and the weight of tradition to protect a love that defies their stations. This heartwarming romance perfectly bridges the gap between the refined elegance of regency sensibilities and the high-stakes passion of modern sports. It is a tender, erotic, and deeply moving exploration of what it means to be truly seen by another person. Their journey is as sweet as it is searing, proving that sometimes, the coldest environments harbor the most enduring warmth.
