Melted by the Ice King
The first time I meet the Ice King, he scares me off the ice.
Dagen Mercer is a former NHL enforcer, and my older brother’s terrifying hockey coach. With his brutal reputation, sharp tongue, and a glare that could freeze an entire arena, he’s the last man I should want.
Especially after our disastrous first encounter.
But then he apologizes. No excuses. No demands for forgiveness. And somewhere between late-night conversations at the rink, stolen kisses, and the way he calls me petite reine, I discover a side of him nobody else seems to see.
The man who once terrified me becomes the one I can't seem to stay away from.
And just when I start to believe I might finally have something worth holding on to, someone else starts paying attention. Anonymous gifts turn into unsettling messages, and soon, the secrets I've fought so hard to bury are finding their way back to me
Dagen has never been a man who backs down from a fight.
And whoever is watching me has no idea what happens when the Ice King has something worth fighting for.
Melted by the Ice King is a spicy, forbidden age-gap hockey romance with a possessive hero, a strong-willed heroine, found family, and a dangerous undercurrent of romantic suspense. Book One in the Lockmere Ice Kings series.

About the author
E.K. Adams
7 books4 followersE.K. Adams writes the kind of romances that make your heart race, your emotions spiral, and your Kindle overheat. With a degree in Psychology and Creative Writing, she specializes in heroes who are overprotective, a little possessive, and 100% ready to throw hands for the woman they love. If a man doesn’t have touch-her-and-die energy, is he even worth writing about?
Living full-time in an RV with her pets, E.K. road-trips her way through inspiration, weaving small-town charm, delicious tension, and those quiet, soul-crushing moments of intimacy into every story. She believes love is built in the little things—a lingering glance, a protective hand at the small of your back, the unshakable promise that you’re mine, sweetheart.
