Cold As Ice

Malcolm has his entire life mapped out — hockey, grades, a five-year plan with no room for distractions. When his tutoring arrangement pairs him with Elliott, the team's charming bad boy, Elliott quickly clocks Mal's biggest secret: he's been too busy checking boxes on his life plan to actually live a little.

They're fire and ice, opposites who shouldn't work at all — but the more time they spend together, on and off the ice, the harder it gets to ignore their chemistry. Elliott wants more than a fling; he wants to melt Mal's cold shoulder and show him there's more to life than a plan. Cold As Ice is book two in Beth Bolden's Portland Evergreens college hockey romance series, a slow-burn opposites-attract romance between an uptight overachiever and the teammate determined to loosen him up.
