Plot Summary: Iced Out by C.E. Ricci (Book 1 of the Leighton U series)
Quinton de Haas and Oakley Reed have been at each other’s throats since high school—Quinton, the hotheaded underdog with something to prove, and Oakley, the golden boy with a multi-generational hockey legacy he never asked for. When fate lands them on the same team at Leighton University, their animosity only grows, especially when an injury forces Oakley to give up the captain’s role… to Quinton.
But hate isn’t the only thing crackling between them.
One impulsive, heated night changes everything. What starts as a secret, no-strings arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them saw coming. The more they collide—on and off the ice—the harder it becomes to deny that this rivalry might just be something else entirely.
Iced Out is an intense enemies-to-lovers story that will take you on a journey. Buckle up, and welcome to Leighton U.
