Elias Mercer has worked hard building the perfect career. He’s captain of the Montreal Royals, and he’s just been named captain of Team Canada for the Olympics. At thirty-two, he’s spent years as the face of Canadian hockey while perfecting the art of keeping his personal life private and separate from his professional one. Nolan Hart can’t believe he’s chosen to be the youngest player on Team Canada. At twenty and just in his second year in the NHL, he’s one of hockey’s brightest young stars. It feels like a dream come true to play on the Olympic team. He’s admired Elias for what feels like forever, but he’s not expecting to find he can’t stop thinking about his new captain. What starts as stolen touches and flirty comments quickly turns to nights together and feelings that are getting too big to ignore. With the gold medal on the line, they fight to find a way to balance their careers and their relationship. But when the Olympics come to an end, they’ll return to opposite sides of the NHL, forcing them to confront whether what they found in Italy can survive real life. Nolan dreams of a day where they don’t have to hide, but Elias knows all too well how the media can reduce a player to a headline. Winning Olympic gold might be the easy part. Figuring out what happens after could cost them everything. Frozen Currents is book 1 of the Beyond the Ice series. Each book follows a different couple and can be read as a standalone.
