Publisher's Synopsis
Discover the kind of love that gives you butterflies...
Carrying with her a backpack full of romance novels and the dream of escaping her abusive uncle, Sarah Hammond flees to Red Valley, California, to start a new life. Working at a hair salon and being independent for the first time in her life feels too good to be true. When her new landlord starts harassing her, she realizes she's traded one horrific situation for another. Then she meets Nathan Connors, the backup goaltender for the Red Valley Ravens hockey team, and discovers the kind of storybook hero that she's only ever read about. Haunted by his traumatic past, Nathan hopes that relocating to a new team is just what he needs to put his mistakes behind him and start fresh. Falling in love with an incredibly shy woman who holds tightly to her secrets isn't in his game plan, but he can't seem to help himself. Earning her trust won't be easy, especially when he has secrets of his own. Just as Sarah begins to discover the joy of freedom, friendship, and love, her determined uncle tracks her down. This is one family reunion that could cost Sarah her life... *Although part of a series, Fresh Ice can be read as a stand-alone, as can all the books in the Red Valley Raven series.*
