Face Off Break: A Grumpy Sunshine College Hockey Romance
N.D. Hartley
But I’ve touched the part of him that burns.
Marcus Kelley isn’t just Lakeview’s golden boy.
He’s a campus legend. A cold-blooded defenseman with abs you could draw a six-pack on, a temper that melts ice, and a secret injury that could destroy everything.
He was supposed to keep his head down and his hands off distractions.
Then he kissed me like a man coming undone—and I haven’t breathed right since.
I’m Sophie Bellamy.
Art student. Heart mess. The girl who sees too much and draws what no one else dares to.
Marcus was never supposed to be my muse.
Now I can’t stop sketching him. Can’t stop needing the way he looks at me—like I’m his only escape from the pressure, the pain… the lie.
But loving Marcus means walking the edge.
He’s hiding a career-ending injury.
Coach Draper is watching us like a hawk, threatening everything he has left.
And I’m the one thing he can’t afford to want—but can’t stay away from.
Our chemistry is wildfire.
Our timing? Tragic.
And the deeper we fall, the closer we get to impact.
He’s breaking under the weight of his secrets.
I’m risking everything just to hold him together.
And the question isn’t whether we’ll burn…
It’s whether we survive the fire.
