Serenity Snow

When rising hockey star Chris Neil’s temper lands him in hot water, the Barley Blades assign Dr. Anna Blaine—gritty, no-nonsense team physician—to keep him in line. As Chris fights to reclaim his career, Anna battles her own guarded heart. Amid ice-cold tension and fiery chemistry, they discover that redemption isn’t just about the game — it’s about learning to trust, to heal, and maybe even to love.

A grumpy/sunshine, slow-burn romance set against the high-stakes world of professional hockey.

Three men in suits. One woman with a clipboard. One empty chair with her name on it.
