Description
The first time Daphne Scott met hunky hockey superstar Jack Walsh, she was hungover and more than a little irritable. Still, it was hard to deny that he was hotter than Adonis—even if he did know it.
The second time Jack met the sexy Scottish beauty Daphne, he had a concussion and wanted nothing more than to get home to Heart’s Ease so he could recover. He didn’t expect the ice queen to become his best medicine.
A whirlwind romance at the Heart’s Ease Inn seems like the best prescription for them both. Until the real world creeps in, forcing them to learn that making a long-distance relationship work is harder than either imagined. When their careers threaten to put half a world between them, they must make a choice. Have they taken on a task harder than the very ice he skates on?

Advance Praise
Lighthearted, funny and such a wonderful read. Sweet and charming, so many moments to smile and laugh-out-loud!
I thoroughly enjoyed Book One of the Heart’s Ease Series and had been anxiously waiting to read Book Two - Hard as Ice did not disappoint. The focus of Book Two is the romance between Daphne Scott, Scottish beauty searching to find herself and a new career, and Jack Walsh, Heart’s Ease native hockey star recuperating from a season ending injury. They are classic opposites: different backgrounds, upbringing, education, families, continents, etc. Hard as Ice shares the sweet moments as they discover their attraction and the bitter-sweet as they attempt to make their relationship work. I loved their conversations, particularly reading what they were willing to speak aloud, and what they held back from each other. Strong leading characters, successful and driven but with fears and vulnerabilities.
There are also appearances from favorite characters from Book One – Cam, Elise, Aunt Ida and Asher. I love that I get to see what’s been happening with these characters since the end of Book One.
Looking forward to the rest of the Series!
