Breaking the Ice by Anders Grey

Will a dangerous blizzard heat up Derek and Blaze’s relationship—or freeze Derek’s heart forever?

Derek: Romance ruins everything. After swearing off love, all I want is a quiet life in the mountains with my dogs. But everything changes when a city boy named Blaze comes barreling into town. When Blaze’s mistake gets my assistant injured, I’m forced to swallow my bitter pride and admit he’s the only available replacement.
Aside from my sled dogs, Blaze and I are the only two people on my mountain property. Being in close proximity with him quickly gets on my last nerve. He’s inexperienced, naïve, and clumsy—he’s everything I can’t stand. So why am I dreading the day he finally leaves?

Blaze: After graduating, I flew up north to pursue my dreams of meeting my hero, Derek Winters, and his dogsled team. I’m crushed when Derek tells me to get lost, but when his assistant gets hurt, a stroke of fate intervenes. I’m the only person in the world who can help Derek, and that’s exactly what I plan to do.
It’s no secret Derek despises me, but his loneliness is clear as his ice-blue eyes. I know there’s a heart of gold beneath that grumpy exterior. Can I make him understand that he doesn’t have to be alone?
Or will he refuse me even when his life depends on it?
