Breaking the Ice (Discreet Edition) - Paperback

by Beth Bolden (Author)

Coach Gavin Blackburn has been through hell.

Three years ago, he was on top of the world, courted by the best teams in the NHL to coach their players.

His wife's unexpected death destroyed him, and sent him running from hockey. He thought he'd left the sport behind forever, but when his ex-player shows up at his remote cabin, begging him to return to Portland University to coach the Evergreens again, he agrees.

The last thing Gavin expected was their mentor-student relationship to turn into something entirely different now that Zach is grown up. He certainly never expected to feel attraction again, or to feel it for a man. For Zach.

Or for Zach to want him back, with a passion Gavin couldn't deny even if he wanted to.

He's too old, too washed up, too destroyed by grief, and has no intention of dating ever again, but maybe it's own assumptions that need to be broken and re-made.

Maybe it's Zach who needs to be the one who break him down and make him into something new. Give him something new: a wild, unexpected and unprecedented love affair.
