Fashion designer Avery Addison has a taste for the finer things. Luxury hotels, personal drivers, and a wardrobe that could grace any runway. But when her South Pacific business trip takes a disastrous turn, the city girl who’s never missed a manicure suddenly finds herself stranded on a remote island—with no phone, no room service, and only a designer coat to protect her from the rain.
Just when she thinks things can’t get worse, Colton Greene—star hockey player for the Red Valley Ravens and the definition of infuriatingly laid-back—washes up on shore. With his easy grin, tanned muscles, and maddening calm, Colton seems perfectly content to ride out their predicament. Avery, on the other hand, is determined to take charge…even if she has no idea how.
As days turn into nights and survival forces them to rely on each other, Avery starts to see another side of the cocky Canadian—one that’s patient, protective, and far too tempting. Somewhere between building shelters, dodging storms, and trading sarcastic banter, the line between frustration and attraction begins to blur.
When rescue finally comes, Avery must decide if returning to her old life means leaving behind the one man who made her feel truly alive.
Island Ice, a sizzling romantic adventure with a sprinkle of mystery, is proof that sometimes, getting lost is the only way to find love.
*Although part of a series, Island Ice can be read as a stand-alone, as can all the books in the Red Valley Ravens series.*
