Icebreaker by Kerry Kilpatrick

Sometimes the best things in life are the ones you never see coming.

Brennen Tate is the halfway decent goalie of a losing college hockey team. When he graduates in the spring, he’s heading straight to the mountains—no NHL dreams, no drama. With days full of studying and hockey and nights full of casual hookups, life is exactly how Brennen likes it…until Cooper “Ellie” Ellis upends everything.
Ellie’s a sweet, quiet guy working in the equipment room and crashing in the training room to escape his nightmare dorm. When Brennen’s roommate graduates early and moves out, he impulsively offers Ellie the extra room. No big deal, right? Just a favor.
But things take an unexpected turn when Brennen stumbles across Ellie’s little secret…which just happens to match Brennen’s deepest desires.

This Daddy-little story is full of rock collections, movie marathons, and way too many stuffies for a college apartment. Turns out, home isn’t a place—it’s a person.
