Series: Northwest Ice Division #1
Author: Carolyn Miller
Publisher: Independently Published
Release Date: July 10, 2023
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance
Hannah Wade loves sports, so when injury is swiftly followed by an opportunity to be one of Calgary’s first female sports analysts, she jumps at the chance. Trouble is, some of the old dinosaurs she works with thinks she’s nothing but a fluff-piece, there to add ratings and stir controversy among the fiercely loyal hockey fans. She longs for the chance to prove herself, so when an opportunity comes along to interview newly traded defenseman Franklin James, she meets him, with disastrous effect.
Growing up with three sisters means Franklin thought he knew something about women, but nothing had ever prepared him for the sparkling firecracker that is Hannah. And yet her vibrant personality holds a sweetness and soft side, something that draws his interest and protectiveness when an interview goes south.
Can these two overcome prejudice and see a way forward? And what has faith – or the lack of – got to do with anything? Fire and Ice is the first book in the new Northwest Ice hockey romance series, a sweet and swoony, slightly sporty, Christian contemporary romance series that continues the legacy of the Original Six, and is perfect for fans of Becky Wade, Courtney Walsh and Susan May Warren.

Excerpt
He nudged her shoulder with his. “You okay?”
“Yes. Just thinking.”
“Thinking about that time when we first met?”
She chuckled. “You know, for all your boasting about humble charm you can sound
pretty arrogant sometimes.”
“Boasting? Come on. I don’t boast. I don’t need to. I let others do the talking for me.”
She knew he was teasing, but she loved this banter. “See? Arrogant.”
“Just so you know I’ve never ever used the phrase ‘humble charm’ to describe
myself.” He grinned. “I might’ve used cowboy charm once or twice.”
Her laughter increased.
“So, you’re saying I left no impression on you, huh?”
“And we’re back to you needing to know how people feel about you. Again.”
“Well, if you prefer, we can talk about how I felt when I first saw this supermodel
friend of my sister in a swimsuit, like every teenage boy’s fantasy woman.”
Her cheeks heated. “Come on. I was sixteen.”
“You were perfect,” he said, his blue gaze drilling into her. “Still are.”
