Cold Day in the Sun

A Hockey Romance

Sara Biren

Harry N. Abrams · Print & ebook · August 24, 2021

This YA romance about a girl on a boys hockey team who happens to fall for the team captain is for Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han fans and is from Sara Biren, author of The Last Thing You Said. “A teenage love story steamy enough to melt the ice in the rink," says Kirkus. ”A fun romp of a teen romance via an exciting hockey season, this book has all the right ingredients—a spunky, multifaceted main character, a love interest who turns out to be a decent individual, and plenty of internal and external conflict." Holland Delviss wants to be known for her talent as a hockey player, not a hockey player who happens to be a girl.

”A fun romp of a teen romance via an exciting hockey season, this book has all the right ingredients—a spunky, multifaceted main character, a love interest who turns out to be a decent individual, and plenty of internal and external conflict." Holland Delviss wants to be known for her talent as a hockey player, not a hockey player who happens to be a girl. But when her school team is selected to be one of the schools featured and televised as part of HockeyFest, her status as the only girl on the boys’ team makes her the lead story. Not everyone is thrilled with Holland’s new fame, but there’s one person who fiercely supports her, and it’s the last person she expects: her bossy (and very cute) team captain, Wes.
