Accidentally Dating Hockey’s Ice King
Beatrix Holloway has always been the dependable one. For four long years, she stood beside her boyfriend, Julian, sacrificing everything to help him build his dream. When his company finally lands a massive sponsorship deal, she spends her last savings on an engagement ring, hoping to surprise him.
Instead, she catches him in bed with the investor's daughter.
Publicly humiliated and mocked for her plus-size figure, Beatrix runs away believing she's lost everything. But a chance encounter with eight-year-old Ivy Ashcombe changes her life forever.
"I want you to be my daddy's girlfriend."
Beatrix laughs it off—until Ivy announces to an entire crowd that she's found her new mommy.
Now the internet believes Beatrix is secretly involved with Nikolai Ashcombe, the billionaire owner of the country's biggest hockey team and the cold, intimidating man known as the Ice King. To protect his daughter and put an end to the rumors, Nikolai offers Beatrix a contract she never saw coming.
Beatrix thinks it's only a business deal.
She never expects Ivy to become a determined matchmaker, her cruel sister to set her sights on her fake billionaire boyfriend, or the terrifying Ice King to look at her plus-size body like she's the only woman he's ever wanted.

Chapter: Chapter 4 — The Predator in the Living RoomPOV: BeatrixI pulled my eye away from the peephole, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs, it threatened to break completely free.It wasn't the police.Standing in my dim, narrow hallway was Nikolai Ashcombe. He wore a sharp, charcoal-grey suit that cost more than everything I owned combined, and filled the entire space, his broad shoulders almost brushing the wallpaper on either side. He looked completely out of place in my run-down apartment building, yet entirely in control.*Boom. Boom. Boom.*He knocked one more time, his patience was clearly wearing thin.With trembling fingers, I unlocked the deadbolt and slowly pulled the door open.Nikolai didn't wait for an invitation and stepped right past me, his shoes clicking sharply against my floor. Without so much as a word, he walked into the center of my living room and scanned the cramped space with a look of pure detachment.Closing the door behind him, I pressed my back flat against the wood. I was terrified. Of course I wa

Chapter: Chapter 3 — The Ice King's POV: BeatrixNikolai Ashcombe stared down at me. The hallway was so quiet I could hear my own rapid heartbeat.He looked at my cheap, wrinkled black dress, my flat shoes, my messy hair and my red, tear-stained face and didn't look impressed. If anything he looked completely annoyed and highly dangerous."Ivy," Nikolai called. His voice was incredibly deep. It commanded instant obedience and sent a cold shiver down my spine. "Let go of this woman right now.""No!" Ivy yelled back loudly. She was probably the only person who dared do that. She stubbornly pressed her face into my hip and pointed a small finger right at me. "I want this one, Daddy. She is nice and is going to be your new girlfriend."Nikolai’s jaw clenched tightly. "Ivy, I will not say it again.""Ivy, please let go." I begged quietly. My whole body was shaking, completely terrified of this massive billionaire standing over me.Nikolai reached down. His massive, strong hands gently but firmly grabbed Ivy by the waist and

Chapter: Chapter 2 — The Little Matchmaker POV: BeatrixI stared at the tissue hovering under the door. My chest was still heaving from crying so hard. I slowly reached out with a shaking hand and took it."Thank you," I whispered, my voice sounding rough and broken."You are welcome," a small, high voice said from the other side of the door. "You can come out now. The loud people are not here."I wiped my wet face and blew my nose. Then I took a deep breath, before unlocking the door.A little girl stood by the long row of white sinks. She looked to be about eight years old and wore a very expensive, dark blue velvet dress with a stiff white collar. Her dark hair was tied back in a neat, perfect braid and she had big, round, light gray eyes but they didn't look normal and playful like a typical child. Hers were totally calm, serious eyes, like a tiny adult.I felt completely embarrassed. I was a grown ass woman crying on the floor in front of a child. I walked over to the sink, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water

Chapter: Chapter 1 — CrushedPOV: BeatrixThe music on the rooftop lounge was so loud it made my chest vibrate. Bright purple and blue lights flashed across the dance floor while waiters in white shirts walked through the crowd, carrying heavy silver trays filled with champagne.Julian’s sports agency had rented the entire top floor of the Sky Tower tonight. We were celebrating the massive new contract with the Thorne family and everyone was drinking and laughing.I stood near the edge of the room, holding my cheap leather purse tightly against my stomach, feeling totally out of place. My plain black cotton dress was five years old, and my flat shoes were worn out. Compared to me, the other women looked like goddesses with silk dresses and shiny diamonds.But I didn't care, I was so happy now I could barely even breathe.I reached my hand inside my purse and my fingers brushed against a small box hidden at the bottom.Inside the box was a silver engagement ring.I bought it myself. I knew Julian didn't have the m
