The whole campus wants the Aussie on ice…
but Adam Walker only wants the girl hiding in the library.

Bianca Reyes likes her life quiet: oversized sweaters, romance novels, and a campus cat who thinks he owns her heart. Hockey players are loud, adored, and guaranteed to bring chaos.

So when the university’s newest obsession wanders into her library, lost and smiling like he’s never met a rule he didn’t want to break, Bianca assumes one thing:

He’s just being friendly.

Adam has other plans.

Adam is the star forward, the international recruit, the accent that’s started a fan club. But behind the legend is a homesick guy who’s tired of being a headline. Bianca is the only person who talks to him like he’s just… Adam. No spotlight. No performance. Just real conversation, quiet laughs, and a library corner that feels like home.

Then the campus gets louder.
A flirty radio host. A few whispered rumors. A misunderstanding that makes Bianca retreat back into safety.

And Adam realizes something simple:

If he stays quiet, he loses her.

So he chooses words over spectacle, leaves a handwritten note in her favorite book, and asks for one honest moment.

Because Bianca has spent her whole life believing she’s not the kind of girl who gets chosen.
And Adam is about to prove her wrong.

THE AUSSIE ON ICE is a sweet, swoony, low-angst college hockey rom-com featuring a golden retriever hero, a bookworm heroine, cozy library vibes, light jealousy, found-home feelings, and an earned, heart-melting kiss (with a smug campus cat as chaperone).

Perfect for readers who want feel-good romance, soft masculinity, and a happily ever after that feels like a warm blanket.
