Red Valley Ravens 4 - Hot Ice

Some scars need a healing touch… Violet James has finally found her purpose. As a massage therapist, she helps others heal—body and soul. But when her newest client turns out to be Jace McQuaid, star forward for the Red Valley Ravens, she’s completely unprepared. Jace is everything she should avoid—intense, guarded, and built like temptation. And beneath his gruff reputation, he’s carrying pain she can’t ignore. Jace has no interest in love. Not after a bitter divorce that left him with more scars than he’s willing to admit. But when an injury threatens his career, he has no choice but to trust the one woman who sees straight through his defenses. Violet’s gentle touch begins to break down the walls he’s spent years building…and one look from Jace is enough to leave her heart dangerously exposed. But as desire grows and boundaries blur, Violet is hiding a secret that could shatter the fragile trust between them. Because once she touches him, walking away won’t be an option. *Although part of a series, Hot Ice can be read as a stand-alone, as can all the books in the Red Valley Ravens series.*
