Breaking the Ice: A journalist provokes a guarded hockey star, pulling them into a slow-burn, high-pressure MM romance filled with tension, vulnerability, ... HEA. by Sebastian Hart
He was supposed to cover the story.
Not become the center of it.


When journalist Evan Cole asks a brutally honest question at Media Day, he expects a cold stare, maybe a PR warning.
He does not expect Ryan Hale—Northport’s golden boy, the franchise winger, the man with a perfect smile and a perfectly locked emotional vault—to react like Evan hit a fault line he wasn't meant to find.

And he definitely doesn’t expect the universe to shove them together again…and again.

Behind cameras, Ryan is charming, effortless, untouchable.
Off the ice, he’s tense heat, sharp edges, and a loneliness he hides with practiced perfection.

Evan sees what no one else does.
Ryan hates how much he sees.

What begins as a hostile interview turns into a reluctant truce…
Then late-night texts.
Then secrets shared in empty locker rooms.
Then something neither man can walk away from.

But the Northern Stars have rules.
The city has expectations.
And Ryan’s career is balanced on a knife’s edge—one wrong move, one honest moment, could cost him everything.

Slow-burn tension.
Quiet yearning.
Enemies-to-irresistible-gravity.
A love story carved from pressure and vulnerability.


Breaking the Ice is Book 2 in the Northern Stars Hockey MM romance series, featuring emotional intimacy, sports pressure, journalism ethics, found family, and a guaranteed HEA.

Content mild hockey violence, anxiety/panic, public pressure, media scrutiny, and consensual slow-burn MM romance with emotional depth.
