Sneak Peek from UNSCRIPTED ICE

Jax “The Hammer” Cooper is London’s most notorious hockey captain—an elite athlete with a highlight reel of bad decisions, tabloid headlines, and one too many “misunderstandings” that keep threatening his career.

Chloe Sterling is the opposite of chaos. She’s a PR crisis manager who lives by rules, spreadsheets, and control—and she’s been hired as Jax’s last resort.

Her solution is simple. Brutal. Effective.

A three-month, highly public fake relationship.

Jax gets a redemption arc. Chloe gets compliance. The public gets a love story.
What could possibly go wrong?

Everything.

Because Jax isn’t just a pretty disaster—he’s relentless, magnetic, and infuriatingly hard to resist. And Chloe’s “ice queen” reputation starts cracking the more time they spend in forced proximity: staged dates, rehearsed smiles, and private moments that feel a little too real.

The plan is to sell a romance.
But the real danger is catching feelings.

And once the script gets thrown out… there’s no going back.

About UNSCRIPTED ICE

Chloe Sterling doesn’t believe in luck.

She believes in strategy, optics, and controlling the narrative before the narrative controls you. She’s a crisis manager with a reputation for saving impossible clients—cleaning up messy headlines, shutting down scandals, and turning public disasters into polished redemption arcs.

Which is exactly why she gets assigned the worst client imaginable:

Jax “The Hammer” Cooper.

Jax is London’s most notorious hockey captain—elite on the ice and chaotic everywhere else. He’s talented, magnetic, and constantly one tabloid photo away from destroying his career. Sponsors are nervous. The league is tired. The team needs him focused. And Jax’s “misunderstandings” are getting harder to explain.

Chloe arrives with one goal: fix him.

Jax arrives with one talent: making her job harder.

He’s too charming when he wants to be. Too reckless when he doesn’t care. And too good at reading people for a man who claims he never thinks. Chloe expects a stubborn athlete who needs managing.

She doesn’t expect a man who pushes back.

Or a man whose chaos has edges that look suspiciously like pain.

Chloe’s solution is clean and simple:

A three-month, highly public fake relationship.

It’s the perfect play:

• A redemption arc the public will love

• A steady “girlfriend” storyline to calm sponsors

• A controlled schedule of appearances and interviews

• A narrative that replaces scandal with romance

Jax agrees because he has to.

Chloe agrees because she always wins.

The deal is strict:
Public dates. Smiles on cue. A few staged photos. No improvisation. No off-script behavior.

Except Jax lives off-script.

Forced proximity turns into constant friction: planned appearances, rehearsed answers, and late-night “PR prep” that becomes something else when the cameras are off. Chloe’s spreadsheets don’t account for the way Jax watches her when she’s focused—like he’s trying to figure out what makes her crack. Jax doesn’t follow rules, but he follows Chloe in a way that feels deliberate.

And Chloe—the woman known for being untouchable—starts slipping.

Not publicly. Never publicly.

But privately, her control starts to bend.

Because Jax isn’t only the headlines. He’s the pressure behind them. The expectations. The weight of being the captain, the face, the constant target. And the more Chloe sees the man underneath the chaos, the harder it becomes to keep her feelings clinical.

Meanwhile, Jax starts doing the one thing nobody expects from him:

He tries.

Not just for the cameras. For real.

He shows up on time. He listens. He keeps his hands to himself when he doesn’t want to. He fights his impulses like they’re an opponent on the ice. And Chloe realizes the most dangerous part of this plan isn’t the public thinking it’s real.

It’s the fact that it’s becoming real.

Because the moment Chloe stops controlling the story… the story starts controlling her.

And once the script gets thrown out, there’s no going back.
