Ice Cowboy (A Single Dad Hockey Romance Novel‪)‬

Ice Cowboy – A heartfelt romance where sparks fly, secrets simmer, and love takes root under the California sun.

It's the off-season, and the last thing Jesse Chaparrel wants to talk about is hockey. The Red Valley Ravens star is spending his summer on his Northern California cattle ranch, raising his young daughter and enjoying a rare stretch of peace away from the spotlight. But that quiet doesn't last long—not after Laurell Monahan crashes into his front gate, claiming she's there to answer his ad for an in-house chef.

There's just one problem: Laurell can't cook to save her life. Everything about her screams city girl—from her designer boots to her shaky attempts at country life—and Jesse's not buying her story for a second. Still, there's something about the clever brunette that gets under his skin. Her warmth. Her wit. The way she looks at him like she sees more than just the hockey player or the cowboy. Before long, Jesse's thinking about things he shouldn't be—like hot summer nights in the hayloft and convincing her to stick around Red Valley for good.

But Laurell didn't just stumble into Jesse's life by accident. She's hiding more than her lack of kitchen skills—and the secrets in her suitcase could destroy everything he's fought to protect, including his daughter's safety and his fragile shot at happiness.

When the truth comes out, Jesse must decide whether love is worth forgiving the past—or if some betrayals cut too deep to heal.

Saddle up for a story where the ice melts fast, the sparks burn hot, and love proves as wild as the West itself!

*Although part of a series, Ice Cowboy can be read as a stand-alone, as can all the books in the Red Valley Ravens series.*
