Breaking the Ice by Jaqueline Snowe

Falling for your best friend is a bad idea. Falling for your roommate?
A disaster waiting to happen.

Jordan Vanderfleet has three rules:
Love is temporary.
Commitment is a trap.
Never, ever fall for Preston Charming.
She’s spent years perfecting the art of keeping things casual, thriving in chaos, and avoiding anything that even resembles forever. But when one impulsive night changes everything, Jordan’s broken the only rule that ever mattered—falling for the one person she can’t afford to lose.

Preston Charming is hockey royalty, a future pro who plays the game with skill, precision, and a rock-solid plan. He’s focused and carefree, except when it comes to Jordan. He’s been in love with her for years, but timing was never on his side. Now, just when he thinks he finally has a shot, she finds one reason to push him away.

When an accidental steamy night in a hotel shifts everything between them, Jordan does what she does best—runs. But Preston isn’t the kind of guy who lets his best girl slip through his fingers. Not without a fight.

He’s done playing it safe. He’s done waiting. And this time? He’s not letting her go.
