Iced Out
by Ricci, CE
Iced Out is a high-octane collision of ego and attraction that thrives on the friction of a workplace environment where neither character can afford to lose. It centers on two professionals whose mutual disdain is only eclipsed by the undeniable, volatile chemistry that keeps them trapped in each other's orbit. You will feel the weight of their professional stakes, but the real pull here is the slow, agonizing burn as their defenses crumble under the pressure of forced proximity. The pacing is sharp and deliberately tense, favoring long stretches of simmering resentment that eventually boil over into something far more complicated. If you are the type of reader who enjoys watching two people fight their feelings until they have absolutely no choice but to surrender, this book will keep you tethered to the page until the very last chapter.
