MELTING ICE
Game On In Seattle #5
Jami Davenport
Released June 15th, 2015
USA
Today Bestselling author Jami Davenport presents another Seattle Sockeyes
hockey romance and the fifth book in her Game On in Seattle sports romance
series showcasing alpha male heroes of football, baseball, and hockey.
Brimming with attitude and broken
beyond repair, Isaac "Ice" Wolfe has a heart as cold as his nickname,
and he likes it that way--until he meets his neighbor Avery Maxwell. Avery is unlike
any woman he's ever known. Her smile thaws his frozen heart. Being with her
heals his broken places. She makes him feel, and for Isaac that's not always a
good thing. Isaac has burned every bridge in his professional hockey career.
When he's traded to the Seattle Sockeyes halfway through their inaugural
season, he knows he won't get another chance. He's never been a team player,
yet he needs to become one--and fast.
Avery has only wanted one thing in
her life--to train and show horses. Her decision to drop out of college to
pursue her riding career causes a rift with her big sister, but Avery is tired
of following everyone else's dreams. Now she's following her own, and no one is
going to distract her from her passion--until she meets a dark stranger and his
cantankerous dog.
When Isaac is warned away from Avery
by the team's captain, who happens to be Avery's future brother-in-law, Isaac
sees the writing on the wall. It's Avery or his career. To Isaac, a life
without hockey wouldn't be a life worth living. But what about a life without
Avery?
Do Isaac and Avery sacrifice their
life's passions for their mutual passion for each other, or do they fight to
have it all, even if by doing so, they might lose everything in the end?

The dickwad who’d scared the crap out of poor Tiffani grinned at Avery. She suspected he used that very grin to disarm a woman while getting back in her good graces and her bed. This clueless bastard would get neither from her, despite his rugged good looks, deep blue eyes, and sexy dark stubble that added emphasis to his strong jaw line. Avery flexed her fingers without thinking. She itched to trace a finger along that very jawline.
He darted a quick look at her hand. For a brief moment the smile slipped off his face. He probably thought she was going to throw a punch. She’d let him keep thinking that. This wasn’t about her and her misplaced desire, this was about Tiffani.
Like a mama bear defending her cub, Avery stopped in front of him, hands on her hips, and glared up into the bluest eyes she’d ever seen in her life. The man was oh-so yummy, and he most likely knew it. Avery was tall, standing five-foot-ten in her boots, but he had to be at least six-foot-two and built like an athlete. He wore ratty jeans, a rattier T-shirt, a faded hoodie, and he was an absolute stranger to her.
She glanced around for backup, just in case the man might not have the best intentions. Tiff would call 911 at the first sign of trouble, and Eduardo should be back any second with a load of hay from the hay barn.
She turned back to the sexy stranger and took a deep breath, gathering the nerve she’d need to properly dress him down. “What the hell right do you have scaring Tiffani like that?”
He stopped smiling, but one corner of his mouth quirked in an amused smirk. “Sorry, I didn’t realize she was deaf. I didn’t mean to scare her.”
“She’s not deaf,” Avery said, not offering any further explanation. Tiffani’s issues were none of his damn business. “And this is private property.”
“Sorry, I’m looking for my dog.” He didn’t look the least bit contrite.
“Dog?” She frowned even harder, as it all started to make sense. She’d bet next month’s training income he owned the drooling boxer which had just chased Sam’s expensive show horse all over the paddock before Avery could corral the unruly beast and drag him by his collar into an empty stall.
“Yeah, a boxer.” He tilted his head, and gave a small shrug, his blue eyes wide, but his innocent act looked all wrong on him.
Without a word Avery motioned to him and turned on her heel. She heard his footsteps behind her. She stopped before a stall and peered in. “This dog?” she said as she pointed at the fat, winded dog lying flat on his side on the clean shavings.
Mr. Hot and Sexy moved closer to her, so close she could smell the soap he used in the shower and feel the heat from his big body. He peered in the stall at the panting dog. “That’s the one.”
Damn, he was attractive in a bad boy sort of way—just the kind of guy Bella went for but not usually Avery’s type, if she even had a type. He shoulder brushed against hers, and she bit back a gasp. His touch scalded her and sent all kinds of happy signals to her female parts.
