USA Today Bestselling Author Mary Smith

Wow, I can't believe that it, 2013 is over  What a crazy year have I had!!?? Let's recap: Last year, started out rough because the NHL was still dealing with the lockout. Oh,  the horror:   Now, it's okay .. at least for a few more years! It was my love of hockey that brought to what is happening to me now......bring an author! That is still very hard for me to say, because It still feels so unreal!! With the support of my family and friends, I wrote Melting Away The Ice (THE ICE SERIES) !! Then came:  Breaking the Ice (The Ice series (Vol 2)) I still can't believe it. With that brought the greatest partnership EVER! My dear sweet LP (aka Lindsay Paige ). Where would I be without that girl!? LP and ME!!! Our partnership brought two full books:  Breakaway (The Penalty Kill Trilogy)  and Off the Ice (The Penalty Kill Trilogy) . Of course, I can't forget our novella: Our First Christmas (The Penalty Kill Trilogy) All of this has happene

You asked for it and here it is!! The cover of Breaking the Ice (Ice Series #2) Blurb: Rachel Silver is independent and likes it that way. It hardly bothers her that she hasn’t even had a relationship in over a year. Her goals are firmly set on her career. That was until her love of hockey crosses paths with Max Crawford. Even though Max Crawford has had a wild side, there was something about Rachel when he saw her for the first time. Maybe it was her smart mouth, or her sexy lips? Nonetheless, he wanted her. Finally, Max is able to start a relationship with her, but will her stubborn attitude be the downfall of their relationship? Or could Max break the ice that holds her firm? Now................ I love the original cover of Melting Away the Ice, but I needed something 'different'. Thanks to my amazing cover designer she came up with this new cover.......... PLEASE NOTE: this is will not be be available for purchase until Jan 2014.
