The teamâs broodiest defenseman meets his match in a sunshine yoga instructor who doesnât take no for an answer.
Banks doesnât do relationships. Doesnât do feelings. Doesnât do yoga.
Winnieâs about to change all that.
Ice Cold Chemistry is a grumpy-sunshine hockey romance, and oh... itâs going to get spicy!
Sheâs the distraction the team canât afford.
Heâs the solution no one saw coming.
Winnie Garrett is done with men. After a toxic relationship left her second-guessing everything, sheâs focused on one thing: her dream job as the New York Knightsâ new yoga instructor.
Banks Callahan doesnât do relationships. Or feelings. Or anything that requires letting people get close. Growing up in the foster system taught him not to need anyoneâand definitely not to want something he could lose.
So when the teamâs new yoga instructor becomes an unexpected locker-room distraction threatening their playoff focus, Banks comes up with a solution so ridiculous it just might work.
If the guys think Winnie is his, theyâll back off. Itâs simple locker room code: you donât touch whatâs claimedâlike calling dibs on the last slice of pizza.
Nothing about Winnie Garrett is simple.
Sheâs warmth and laughter and everything Banks has spent years convincing himself he doesnât need. She makes him want things he canât have. Makes him feel things he doesnât understand.
He was never supposed to fall for her.
But somewhere between fake hand-holding, pretend nicknames, and very real late-night moments, the line between âjust for showâ and âdangerously realâ starts to blur.
Ice Cold Chemistry is a slow-burn hockey romance featuring fake dating, a grumpy hero, a sunshine heroine, and the relationship neither of them plannedâbut both might need.

Ice Cold Chemistry by Kendall Ryan
Winnie Garrett, after a toxic relationship, has vowed to stay away from men. Sheâs excited about her new job as a yoga instructor for the New York Knights. However, the hockey players seem immature and dismissive of her, acting as if theyâve never encountered a woman before. Worried that if they donât take her yoga sessions seriously, she wonât be able to meet her bossâs goals for improved flexibility and reduced injuries. Failing to achieve these goals could lead to her job loss. Her best friend, Tori, steps in to help her find a solution to this problem. But they sure didnât think of himâŚ
Banks Callahan notices that the team is distracted because theyâre all fixated on the gorgeous new yoga instructor, making it difficult for them to concentrate on their jobs. With an important playoff push approaching, someone needs to address this issue, but he doesnât want to be the one to do it. He tends to not get involved in drama, keeping his head down, doing his job, and going home. Thatâs how he has survived this long, but the image of her shaking wonât leave his head. However, he soon discovers an option that might workâfake dating. After all, no one would touch anything that belonged to him, right?
âThis is what Iâve been waiting for. This is what I didnât know I needed. Every nerve in my body is on fire, every thought in my head reduced to more, more, more.â
These two are incredibly adorable together. I couldnât resist binging the entire book before I could stop. If youâre looking for a book filled with heart, humor, and heat, donât hesitate to grab this one right away!
