When he lost the world he knew, he found her.

Teddy Seaborn spent years outrunning the weight of his last name and the family expectations that came with it, all while building a new identity as a star hockey player. When a brutal hit on the ice blinds him, everything he's worked for slips away—his career, independence, and his sense of self.

Stuck in a hospital bed, angry and lost, Teddy is isolated in more ways than one. Then she walks in.

To some, Ivy Campbell is a caring nurse, calm and focused in the most high stakes situations. To others, she's an up-and-coming Ice Cross athlete, racing downhill icy tracks with precision and discipline. Her life is about control, with no room for distractions or emotional entanglements. Especially not with a patient.

Behind the public bad boy persona and tabloid headlines, Teddy surprises Ivy with his vulnerability, quick wit, and kindness. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes for her to stay detached.

What begins as friendly support soon deepens into an undeniable connection. As Ivy's season takes off and Teddy's future remains uncertain, they're forced to ask themselves: can a bond created in the solitude of a hospital room withstand the chaos of real life?

Here's what to expect when reading Ice Cross My Heart , a medical sports romance standalone: injured hockey star x nurse; hurt/comfort; forced proximity; both are athletes (her sport is Ice Cross, she works as a nurse off-season); a touch of forbidden; he has bad boy reputation; they both have never been in love; both are pierced & tattooed; she's his fan and he's her teen crush.
