Breakaway Heart: A Slow Burn Hockey Romance

He’s the ice-cold hockey star who swore off love. She’s the off-limits athletic trainer hired to fix him. Rules are about to be broken.

Callum Thorne, the Portland Riptide's star defenseman, is known for two things: his brutal hits on the ice and his impenetrable walls off it. After a devastating accident shattered his past, he lives only for the game. No distractions. No attachments. Winning the championship is his only goal.

Enter Ivy Cortez. Smart, resilient, and fiercely independent, she’s the team's newest athletic trainer. She also has one strict rule: never fall for another broken athlete.

But when a severe shoulder injury threatens Callum's career, he's forced into daily rehab sessions with the one woman who refuses to put up with his grumpy attitude. Late nights in the physical therapy room, long road trips, and forced proximity start melting the ice between them, making it impossible to keep things professional in this undeniable workplace romance.

Beneath Callum's cold exterior lies a fierce protector, and Ivy is the first person to make him feel alive again. As old guilt and career-threatening secrets resurface, Callum must decide if he’s willing to risk his deeply guarded heart for the ultimate breakaway play—love.

He thought hockey was the only thing worth fighting for... until she became the one thing he couldn't afford to lose.
