Dairy Queen

It's my first day undercover at my future husband's dessert shop, and chaos walks in with fake lashes and two-inch nails. "I want an ice cream. Heated." I paused. "Just checking... You want your ice cream hot?" She gave me a look like I'd failed kindergarten. "Yes. Hot ice cream. Are you slow?" Deep breath. Zen mode. Customer-first service smile. "I'm sorry, ma'am. Ice cream has to stay frozen, or it just turns into—well... milk. If you want something warm, we have hot tea or coffee." "I'm pregnant!" she screeched. "Pregnant women crave weird things! Plus, my doctor said I can't eat anything cold! Are you trying to kill my baby and me? Is that what this is?!" People started turning their heads. Fantastic. A whole audience. I kept my voice low. "Ma'am, I can refund you." She suddenly smacked the counter, knocking the scanner sideways. Her nails shot past my face like tiny knives. "What kind of attitude is that?! A pathetic cashier talking back to me? I'll call my husband and get you fired!" Then, she leaned in like she was about to reveal a royal bloodline. "Guess what? I'm the boss's wife." I blinked. If that was true, I really needed to stop thinking about helping my boyfriend to open 3,000 franchise stores.

I caught my boyfriend sleeping with my cousin/best friend. And three days later, I became the campus slut. A single edited recording was all it took for everyone to turn against me. My boyfriend, my cousin, my teammates, even the aunt and uncle who raised me — they all believed the lies. Overnight, I lost my place on the hockey team, my scholarship, my reputation, and the only family I had left. Cast out and humiliated, I transferred to a distant university with one goal: Start over. I thought that leaving would end my nightmare but I was wrong. My new team hates me. Their captain wants me gone. And my new coach, Vance Sterling, looks at me like I'm the last person he wants on his ice. But hatred quickly turns into something neither of us can control. Stolen glances become secret touches, late-night practices become forbidden kisses. And before I realize it, I'm falling for the one man I can never have. The problem is that if our relationship is exposed, we'll both lose everything. Worse, the enemies who destroyed my life aren't finished with me yet. My jealous cousin. My cheating ex. A bitter rival determined to take my place. They're willing to lie, scheme, and destroy anyone who stands in their way, including the man I love. Now I'm caught between the career I've spent my whole life building and a forbidden love that could cost me everything. And when a shocking secret from Vance's past collides with mine, I discover that the people who ruined our lives have been connected all along. They thought they broke me. Instead, they created something far more dangerous. The Ice Queen is coming for her crown.

My younger brother, Owen Rivera, and I are playing in Dad's refrigerated truck. Owen wants to grab my ice cream from me, but I refuse to let him have his way. He shoves me forcefully, causing me to lose my balance and fall to the floor, knocking me out on the spot. When I finally wake up and locate him in the freezer, I find out that he's gotten reduced to a frozen statue. The security footage shows that Owen has been screaming the words "Mommy, help me!" hysterically for three hours before his death. After Mom is done watching the footage, she breaks down on the spot. Then, she yanks me by my hair before slamming me against the wall. "What were you doing? You were at the entrance, dammit! Why didn't you open the door for Owen?" With reddened eyes, Dad throws me into the freezer. "Owen was cold and frightened in the freezer! You should have a taste of the same thing too!" The thick and heavy door is slammed in my face. Darkness and a bone-chilling coldness devour me instantly. I curl into a small ball in the corner Owen has just died in. My teeth are starting to chatter, and my consciousness is starting to slip away. I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I don't feel cold. I'm not cold at all. I will never eat ice cream ever again in my next lifetime.
