PENALTY BOX PROMISES

A Frostline Harbor Hockey Romance
by Amelia West

Everyone in Frostline Harbor thinks they know Gage Rowell.

He’s the enforcer.
The trouble magnet.
The guy parents warn their kids about.

On the ice, Gage takes penalties so his teammates don’t have to. Off the ice, he’s learned that once a town decides who you are, silence is safer than defending yourself.

Mirela Santos has spent her whole life watching stories harden into truth.

As the town librarian and community coordinator, she’s dependable, kind, and quietly invisible. The “good girl.” The safe choice. The one who notices patterns but rarely challenges them.

Until she notices Gage.

Not the reputation.
Not the penalties.
The restraint no one sees.

Their connection doesn’t start with sparks or grand gestures. It starts with proximity. With stillness. With moments where neither of them is asked to perform.

But when Gage’s presence is publicly challenged, Mirela is forced to decide whether seeing the truth is enough—or whether she’s willing to stand beside it.

Because in a town like Frostline Harbor, being chosen publicly can cost more than being judged.

Penalty Box Promises is a slow-burn, emotionally mature hockey romance about quiet loyalty, earned trust, and the courage it takes to stop surviving silently.

This is a story where love doesn’t redeem.
It doesn’t fix reputations.
It simply stays.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Protective hockey heroes with soft hearts

• Small-town romance with real consequences

• Slow-burn intimacy that feels earned, not rushed

• Emotionally grounded love stories with found family vibes

Standalone romance. Guaranteed HEA.
