From Ice to Grace

He's one bad hit away from blowing his career. She's one heartbreak past trusting again.

Declan Murphy: The ice used to be the only place I felt steady-where I could hit hard, keep my head down, and pretend the past wasn't catching up. But now I'm one bad decision away from losing it all. My spot on the team. My place in the league. My grip on who I'm becoming. And the one person I can't seem to avoid? Avah Johansson-my teammate's sister and the woman who sees straight through me. Sparring with her used to be harmless. Safe. But when everything starts to unravel, it's Avah who ends up in the middle of my mess... in more ways than either of us planned.

Avah Johansson: After my world shattered, I ran to New York for a fresh start. I didn't expect to find myself stuck in emotional limbo-or spending half my time snapping at one of my brother's teammates just to feel something again. Declan Murphy is loud, infuriating, and everything I swore I didn't want. But when circumstances force us into a marriage of convenience, I begin to wonder if God's using the most unlikely person to bring me back to the healing I've been avoiding.

Now, stuck between pretend and something real, we're facing more than just a fake marriage-we're facing the truth. About pain. About forgiveness. And maybe... about grace we both still need to find.

*From Ice to Grace is a closed-door, christian, hockey romance. It blends faith, grace, and big heart moments into a story you wouldn't be able to put down. It's the second book in the series, but can be read as a stand-alone.
