BLUE LINE AND BABY STEPS

A Single Dad Hockey Romance
Frostline Harbor Hockey — Book 2
by Amelia West

Tate Holloway has built his life the way he plays defense.
Careful. Controlled. Always holding the line.

As Frostline Harbor’s most reliable blue-liner and a devoted single dad, Tate doesn’t take risks he can’t manage. His son comes first. Stability is everything. And wanting more than what already works feels dangerously close to failure.

Then Owen’s new teacher arrives.

Liora Bennett isn’t loud or pushy or impressed by hockey stats. She notices details most people miss — the way Tate watches exits before rooms, the way Owen tracks his father’s moods, the quiet exhaustion beneath a man everyone assumes is fine.

Liora knows better than to cross lines. She’s learned that caring too much can cost you a place in someone else’s carefully balanced world.

So when the town starts to notice them standing a little closer…
Tate pulls back.

Because wanting feels reckless.
Because protecting his son feels like shrinking his life.

And because the most dangerous thing of all is the idea that stability might be able to stretch.

Blue Line and Baby Steps is a slow-burn, emotionally rich hockey romance about quiet competence, chosen presence, and learning that love doesn’t arrive to disrupt a good life — it arrives to deepen it.

• Single dad hero
• Small-town harbor setting
• Elementary school teacher heroine
• Soft, earned romance
• No drama. No games. Just growth.

If you love hockey romances with emotional intelligence, grounded intimacy, and warmth that lingers long after the final page, Frostline Harbor is ready to welcome you back.
