Iven Broomhaur:

The last thing I expected this holiday season was to fall for Santa. Okay, technically, he’s not Santa. He just happens to be a ridiculously handsome, openly gay, bearded lumberjack of a man who spends his nights tucked away in a remote cabin. Which is exactly where I find myself after my ex publicly humiliates me and I decide revenge is the only appropriate response. And what better way to get it than by beating her at the one thing she’s always mocked me for—the annual ice carving competition in our tiny town?

There’s just one problem. I have absolutely no skill at carving ice. Enter Maddox. He’s the reigning champion, the town’s resident stoic, and approximately the size of a Christmas tree. He’s impossible to read and frustratingly quiet. Unfortunately, he’s also my only hope of winning. So when Maddox agrees to teach me, I find myself spending long, cold evenings alone with him at his cabin. And somewhere in all that time together, our lessons start turning into something unexpected. The tension gets harder to ignore. And my attraction becomes harder to explain. Because Maddox is a man. And I don’t fall for men. Except… I might be falling for him.

To Break the Ice is a 58k short MM holiday novel that features: bisexual awakening, friends to lovers, impact play, grumpy x sunshine, high heat and more! A happy ending is guaranteed.
