About this listen
From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes an enthralling single dad, hockey romance that skates through the challenges of forbidden love, healing after trauma, and found family.
They say never mix business with pleasure.
As a single father, and the captain of the Seattle Sasquatches, I’m adamant to keep every corner of my life separate and running perfectly.
That is, until Indie Decker walked into my life.
She’s the team owner's little sister, my new nanny, and so completely out of my league.
Our first encounter? Pure fire, clashing wills with a passion that ensnared us both. Our second? A tentative truce, maybe even a budding friendship. But at some point, we slid recklessly into a 'friends with benefits' arrangement, thinking we could stay casual.
Wishful thinking, I know.
With each passing day, our no-strings-attached fling starts weaving threads between us that I’m not ready to cut. Indie’s fierce independence clashes with my need to protect, to heal, and to love her despite her warrines to open up.
But will my steadfast will and soft hands be enough to get through her defenses? Or am I doomed to sit in the penalty box of Indie’s heart?
Ice, Love, & Other Penalties is part of the family Decker but can be listened to as a standalone.

GOOAALL!!!!
I love hanging out with the Decker family! This is Indie's story and in true Claudia Burgoa style, it had my heart singing and bleeding all at the same time! Indie is working with her brother Jude with his new Seattle hockey team. Helping the team get settled is part of her job, so when Tyberius is in a bind getting his daughter care, Jude put her on it. Not only was she to help him out by watching Myra, but helping him find a permanent solution. Neither knew what they were in store for. Feelings grow but there are secrets that held that could destroy them. Will they give each other the honesty needed? I loved their story. Ty is quite a man. His love for his daughter is beautiful and the relationship with Indie and Myra had my heart. This story is packed with compassion and love and I enjoyed every minute.
Emma Wilder and Robert Hatchet are the story tellers and are perfectly cast. Emma Wilder is so good at finding her character. She fell into Indie's mind and out came each fear, each feeling, each love and she was real. Hatchet has the most incredible voice, and he is so good as Ty. He is frustrated and worried, he is loving and compassionate. His voice is like a hug for Indie. Loved these two and their performance.

Beautiful Story & Listen🎧 Compelling & Heartfelt!
Claudia Burgoa does it again and pens another amazing novel, a sports romance that tugs at your heartstrings and captivates your attention the entire time. The Decker family world is one of my favorite places to spend time in, well, it is the stars of that world and my favorite characters, the Deckers, all their relations, extended family and loved ones included. This book is Indigo “Indie” Decker’s and Tyberius “Ty” Byrnes’ story and wow, talk about emotions, you can feel how much heart Burgoa put into this story as the emotions pour off the pages and go straight into your own heart. Indie is working with her brother Jude, owner of a professional hockey team, the Seattle Sasquatches, and when Tyberius, the team captain, is in a bind, he gets Indie on it to help him. Ty, a single father of six-year-old daughter, Myra, is new to Seattle, and has no family to help, and when his daughter’s nanny quit without notice, he had no choice but to reach out to his boss, Jude, who agreed to help. Indie’s first impression of Tyberius was not the best, and she did not love the idea of having to help him, but she agreed and stepped in to watch Myra until she could find someone qualified to take over. Ty does not trust easily and was reluctant to place his trust in Indie, but she stood her ground and up to his insecurities, while staying true to herself. Indie battles with inner demons because of PTSD from a past incident with someone she puts trust in, another hockey player, so she prefers to steer clear, and after meeting Ty, that includes him, but for a different reason, the feelings he stirs up. It was great to watch these two get to know each other, staring with dancing around one another while navigating their new situation, listening to the back-and-forth banter between them and then seeing their relationship morph into something more, despite Indie fighting it. These two were perfect together and for each other, both had their own issues to get past, and each encouraged the other, two broken people whose pieces fit together perfectly. I loved all the layers of the story and how it all played out with the perfect balance of drama, a touch of angst, some heartwarming moments, lots of heartfelt emotions and a slow burn, but so worth the wait romance. As always, the writing, plot and world building are incredible, as are the character growth and development. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another beautiful and wonderfully amazing and loving story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, humanizing them while giving them voices that are fitting. I loved how they owned their roles, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Wilder was a natural in Indie’s role, grasping every aspect of her personality, from her battles with her inner demons to her fierceness. Clarke did the same in Ty’s role, and was just as amazing showcasing his personality while dealing with his own inner battles and being an awesome dad, team player and person. Both were equally fantastic performing the roles of the secondary/side characters, including Myra, who was adorable. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling each one. These two made a fabulous team, with voices and talent that complement each other and a performance that is entertaining and a pleasure to listen to.
