Jamie MacMaster fell for A.J. Charbonneau the first time she met him.  A.J. was strongly attracted to her but refused to acknowledge it as he set about single-mindedly to achieve his ambition - becoming starting goalie for the Seattle Storm hockey team. Although the rumors were flying through the hockey club about the real reason A.J. was traded, he remained tight-lipped. 

When A.J.’s fiancé showed up, Jaime was heartbroken and accepted a date with Mason Griswald, the other contender for the position of starting goalie.  This precipitated a contest between the two men, both on and off the ice, that soon escalated into violence, as each man fought fiercely for their heart’s desire, with Jaime trapped in the middle. 

‘Black Ice’ gives you a tiny back door peek into the world of the NHL as it tells a love story that overcomes violence and betrayal and teaches one man the true meaning of love.

This was a nice story, easy to read.  It is not a story about hockey; it is a mystery/love story set in the hockey arena.
