Harper Quinn has one unbreakable rule: never date a hockey player. After witnessing too many heartbreaks and broken promises, she's convinced that the men on the ice are all the same - arrogant, emotionally unavailable, and consumed by the game.
Matt Stone, the team's veteran defenseman, is the embodiment of that stereotype - stoic, intimidating, and fiercely private. Known as "The Wall," he keeps everyone at arm's length, protecting himself with silence and a tough exterior. But beneath it all, he's loyal, protective, and haunted by a past he rarely reveals.
When Harper's sharp wit and fearless honesty collide with Matt's guarded world, their fiery clash quickly turns into something neither expected: a slow-burning connection that forces them both to confront their deepest fears. As the pressure of the game, the media, and their own insecurities mount, Harper and Matt must learn to break through the walls they've built - discovering that sometimes, the hardest hearts are the ones worth fighting for.
Ice and Fire is a passionate, character-driven romance about trust, healing, and the unexpected power of love.
