Ice Beneath Our Feet (Unabridged)

Sophie Baxter thought she had left the world of hockey behind. After her brother’s devastating accident on the ice, she swore never to get close to the sport—or the people who played it—again. But when financial troubles force her to return to her hometown and take a job teaching skating lessons at the local rink, she unexpectedly finds herself back in the world she thought she’d escaped. 

Enter Luke Carter, star player for the Chicago Blades. Known for his skill on the ice and his charm off it, Luke is everything Sophie vowed to avoid. Yet, despite her best efforts, she finds herself drawn to him. Luke isn’t like the other players—he’s genuine, passionate, and fiercely protective of those he loves. 

As their connection deepens, Sophie is forced to confront the fears and insecurities she’s held onto for years. But with the media constantly watching, Luke’s high-profile career, and the weight of Sophie’s past, their budding romance faces challenges neither of them expected. Will Sophie be able to open her heart again, or will the pressures of Luke’s world push them apart? 

Ice Beneath Our Feet is a heartwarming and emotional story of love, trust, and finding the strength to face life’s hardest battles—both on and off the ice.
