Melt My Heart: Denver Warlords

Trusting him is her biggest risk. Falling for him might be her only chance…

STARLA:

I don’t have time for distractions. Every moment of my life is choreographed for perfection on the ice, every jump and spin calculated to bring me closer to the Olympic gold. So when I’m paired with Gunnar “Blaze” Hayes for a charity skating routine, I’m furious. A reckless speed skater with no regard for rules? Hard pass. Except I can’t ignore the fire he brings to the rink—or the way it sparks something in me I haven’t felt in years.

But then the threats begin.

At first, I think it’s just nerves or bad luck—skates misplaced, lights cutting out. But now I know better. Someone’s targeting me, trying to sabotage my shot at the gold. Can I trust Gunnar to have my back when everything I’ve worked for is on the line? Or will his chaos cost me everything?

GUNNAR:

Skating fast is my escape. The rush of speed, the blur of the world around me—it’s pure freedom. Getting roped into some charity show is a joke, yet another PR stunt to clean up my bad-boy reputation. But then there’s her. Starla McKenzie. Ice-cold perfection wrapped in grace and curves. She hates my guts, and I can’t help but love pushing her buttons.

But when the threats against her turn serious, everything flips. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means putting myself in the line of fire. The more I get to know her, the harder it is to let go. But can I protect her from the danger closing in—or from my own reckless past catching up to us both?
