Set in the world of ice hockey, Hearts of Ice tells the story of a rivalry that turns into attraction. When her father Marcus accepts the position of rector at Montréal College, Kelsey Cooper finds herself leaving sunny California to study in chilly Canada. Strong and combative, she's ready to embrace the new challenge the future holds with optimism and good intentions. On her very first day, however, she realizes the college is held hostage by the turbulent hockey team, which runs rampant, keeping students and teachers in check. Matthew Leblanc, the sexy and rebellious captain, is the undisputed king of the institution, respected for his on-field achievements and feared for his ruthless pranks. An immediate dislike sparks between him and Kelsey, which soon escalates into an all-out war. Yet, amidst pranks, arguments, and provocations, Matthew and Kelsey discover they are more alike than they thought. What if their rivalry turns into an irresistible attraction? Will they be able to lay down their arms then, or will pride prevent them from following their hearts?
