He’s fighting to get back on the ice.
She’s determined to keep him from destroying himself trying.
Blackthorne Ravens captain Cade Mercer has spent his life carrying the weight of everyone around him. His family depends on him. His young son depends on him. And after a devastating knee injury threatens his future, every day away from the rink feels like another step toward losing everything he’s worked for.
Sports rehabilitation specialist Sloane Whitaker has no interest in hockey fame, media attention, or star athletes looking for shortcuts. Her job is to get players healthy—not tell them what they want to hear.
When Cade becomes her most challenging patient, sparks fly almost immediately.
As long hours of rehabilitation turn into late-night conversations, shared vulnerabilities, and an attraction neither of them can ignore, the line between professional and personal begins to blur.
But with reporters watching their every move, rumors threatening Sloane’s career, and Cade desperate to return to the game before it's too late, they must decide whether protecting their hearts is worth losing the chance at something real.
Sometimes healing takes more than time.
Sometimes it takes the courage to trust someone enough to let them stay.
After the Ice Breaks is a clean single dad hockey romance featuring a protective hero, a strong and capable heroine, slow-burn chemistry, emotional healing, found family, and a heartwarming happily-ever-after.
