Sugar and Ice — Aven Ellis

Josephine Rossi has recovered from a broken heart, but has vowed that she's all about the desserts now as a recipe tester for Bake It! Magazine. She knows what to do in the kitchen as far as making luscious desserts goes. Men? Apparently she's not so good at figuring them out, so she refuses to bother. Josephine knows it is safer to stay in the kitchen than to take another chance on love. At least cheesecake will never hurt you.

Denver Mountain Lions forward Cade Callahan is passionate about hockey, but also about finding love. He thought he had it once, but a disastrous romance last holiday season has him wary about falling again. While he's fearless on the ice, he's guarded with his heart. Cade is determined history won't repeat itself. He won't let his guard down until he's certain he's met The One.

However, Cupid's arrow might just strike when these two least expect it. When Josephine has a baking emergency and Cade just happens to live in the same building with a working oven… Well, things other than cheesecake might just heat up in the kitchen.

Can these two passionate people learn to trust their hearts again? Can love override fear for Josephine and Cade? And will they find the combination of sugar and ice is the sweetest one of all?
