TEXAS ICE TRIO
• Cold Open
• Cleared to Play
• Second Period
A complete three-book sports romance series set in Austin, Texas — three books fully built, ready to publish back-to-back.
Three couples. One NHL expansion team finding its footing in a city that didn’t know it wanted hockey. One community ice rink in East Austin that holds everything together.
The Austin Sidewinders are starting from nothing — no history, no fan culture, no roster that trusts each other yet. The Vega Ice House is sixty years of quinceañeras and youth skaters and tamales and one very opinionated Abuela who has been right about everything so far. These two worlds collide in Year One and don’t stop intersecting.
Each book follows one couple through one hockey season, each falling in love, each carrying a wound that the series traces from the first page of Book 1 to the last line of Book 3. The Vega Ice House is the connective tissue. The community it holds is the found family. Every series seed planted in Book 1 pays off by the time Penny Boone gets her bronze medal.
This trilogy is about what people build when they stop being afraid of needing it. Every couple gets a full happily-ever-after. Every thread closes on the page.
The Books
Book 1 — Cold Open (Beck × Mari)
The engagement is fake. The rink is real. Neither of them agreed to fall for what the other was protecting.
Marisol Vega has spent her whole life holding her late father’s legacy together — the Vega Ice House is sixty years of community ice in East Austin, and it’s barely staying afloat. When a real estate developer comes knocking and the only thing standing between the rink and a sale is a partnership with Austin’s brand-new hockey franchise, Mari needs that deal to survive. She doesn’t have time for hockey players, especially the quiet, controlled one who shows up on her ice like he owns it.
Beck Sorensen is Austin’s expansion team captain — a man built entirely of discipline and deflection who hasn’t wanted anything outside of hockey in eleven years. When a misread social media caption makes him the franchise’s most eligible fiancé, he needs a clean PR story. The deal they make on the tailgate of his truck is strictly transactional.
The series begins: the rink, the family, the neighborhood, and two future couples seeded in the chapters ahead. The goalie is paying attention. The enforcer is watching his daughter skate. Neither of them knows yet that Fredericksburg is the beginning of something.
Mari’s arc: from needed her whole life to finally being chosen. Beck’s arc: from discipline as armor to asking for what he wants.

Book 2 — Cleared to Play (Theo × Elyse)
He’s been in love with her since November 9, 2026. He knows the exact date. She tears her MCL at the community rink and finds herself on the wrong side of the treatment table.
Elyse Callahan, the Sidewinders’ physical therapist, has been managing her awareness of Theo Lindqvist for fourteen months — professionally, carefully, with the specific vigilance of someone who has built her entire identity around being the one who helps. She is also managing her mother’s early-stage dementia from two states away, and Theo is the only person who knew about the Minneapolis facility before she told him.
Theo Lindqvist has been in the corner chair of the treatment suite for two seasons. It is technically available for athletes between exercises. He has memorized every protocol she has ever written — including the November 2026 supplement she wrote for a single athlete that lives in an internal documentation system almost no one accesses. He read it a year before she needed it. No one reads someone’s clinical supplements unless they’re interested in the person who wrote them.
The series deepens: Penny Boone arrives at the epilogue watch party and demands skating lessons. Grady mentions Fredericksburg in passing. Neither of them knows it’s a beginning.
Theo’s arc: from cheerful deflection to saying the hard thing plainly. Elyse’s arc: from solving everything to letting herself be helped.
Friends to lovers · Mutual pining (he’s known for two years) · Caretaker role reversal · Sports world + medical world · He memorized her protocols · The corner chair · “I’ve been in love with you for two years” · She goes to Webb at 8am · The Minneapolis trip
87,000 words · 26 chapters + epilogue · Steamy · Heat-flexible (Dial the Heat™)
Book 3 — Second Period (Grady × Sloane)
He’s been driving the same two-hour route to a Texas hill country town for seven months. She manages the outdoor skating pond there and has been watching him arrive and leave from fifty feet away. Neither of them has said a word. His nine-year-old daughter has decided to do something about it.
Sloane Kessler was a competitive figure skater until a hip injury ended her career at twenty-four and she came back to Fredericksburg because it was somewhere to land. She has a pond, forty-seven children’s drawings on her warming hut wall, and a life she has been treating as provisional for nine years. She received a head coaching offer from the Colorado Springs academy eight weeks ago. She has not responded. She has not told anyone.
Grady Boone has been driving this road since the custody arrangement was finalized — two hours west, the exchange, two hours back. He stopped asking for things for himself three years ago. He has been watching a woman check the ice surface at 6am on the drives when he arrives early enough to see it, and he has not said a single word, and the count is at thirty-one.
The series closes: Penny gets her skating lessons. Penny gets her bronze medal. Every thread from Books 1 and 2 settles on the page. The rink. The found family. The forty-seventh drive that finally felt like staying.
Grady’s arc: from giving everything away to asking for one thing. Sloane’s arc: from provisional to chosen.
Unexpected reunion · Single parent · Small town · Slow burn · Seven-month orbit · Penny has a plan · He drove the route 47 times · She declined Colorado · “Can I stay?” · The passenger seat · Found community

Why this series sells
Sports romance is the #2 best-selling Romance subcategory on Kindle and the fastest-growing major category in the genre. The Texas Ice Trio positions at the center of that demand — not the edge of it. Every book stacks primary and secondary categories: Book 1 claims Sports, Fake Dating, and Hispanic & Latino Romance simultaneously. Book 2 claims Sports, Friends to Lovers, and Medical Romance. Book 3 claims Sports, Small Town, and Second Chances. Three books, nine category slots, three distinct reader pools that share almost no overlap in current chart positions.
The Vega Ice House is the read-through engine. Abuela Rosario’s tamales, Tomás Vega’s youth hockey program, the 214 gold stars on the warming room map — these are the series’ physical center, present in every book. A reader who finds the rink in Book 1 will not stop looking for it. The warming room is where the hard things get said. Every couple has a scene there.
Book 2 is not a middle-book problem. Readers of Cold Open have been watching Theo in the corner chair since Chapter 8, and they have been waiting. The mutual pining structure — he’s known for two years; she’s catching up in real time — is the most reliable readthrough device in friends-to-lovers fiction. A reader who finishes Book 1 on a Saturday will have bought Book 2 by Sunday morning. The November supplement scene is the kind of scene that gets screenshotted and shared.
Penny Boone is the series’ secret weapon. A nine-year-old who is the actual engine of the Book 3 romance — not a device, not background warmth, but a fully rendered character with strong opinions and a working plan — is rare in sports romance. She is seeded from the Book 1 epilogue. She appears throughout Book 2. She gets her bronze medal in the Book 3 epilogue and immediately asks about silver. Readers will talk about Penny.
The Hispanic & Latino Romance angle is genuinely underserved. The Vega Ice House sits in a category with fewer than 1,000 competing titles against reader demand growing over 50% year over year. The category stacking in Book 1 — Sports Romance, Fake Dating, and Hispanic & Latino — triples the algorithmic surface area of a single-category placement and claims three distinct discovery vectors that currently share almost no chart overlap.
Fredericksburg, Texas is commercially specific and fresh. The Texas hill country — German heritage, vineyards, lavender farms, the hill country light at 4pm on US-290 West — is an unusual setting for small town romance, which skews heavily toward fictional Pacific Northwest and unnamed New England. The Kessler Pond is specific enough to feel like a place you’ve been. Real place energy with no crowding.
The Zamboni has a name. Ernesto. Mari will not confirm this. Abuela Rosario will confirm it immediately, with satisfaction. This is the kind of detail that screenshots. The Texas Ice Trio is full of them — the corner chair, the November supplement, the route he’s driven forty-seven times, the voice note she plays back twice. These are the scenes that get shared. These are the scenes that sell the next book.
