Melting the Ice (Denver Stampede #5)

Micah's new roommate is turning his world upside down. Maybe a little shake up is just what he needs.

Micah Smith loves order. He’s stable. Single-minded. Sure, he has quirks and routines, just like all hockey players. But his focus is on being the best possible defenseman for the Denver Stampede, and everything is going perfectly. Until a purple-haired hurricane blows into his life.

Josie Caine lives by her own rules. Chaos is the spice of life and boredom doesn't exist in her world. Staying put isn’t her thing, but she’s made Denver her home the last few months. So, when her boyfriend-of-the-moment skips town, she’s not ready to leave, she just needs a place to crash.

As luck would have it, her brother's best friend—a man she’s secretly crushed on for years—happens to have a two-bedroom condo. Josie promises she won’t mess up his routine. Except as soon as she moves in, she’s making him feel things he has no business feeling about his best friend’s little sister. Their heat’s not just melting the ice, it could liquify a glacier.

Can Josie fall hard enough to put down roots? Or is Micah messing up his carefully constructed routine—and his heart—for nothing?
