Hockey Holiday

You learn quick, when you become a professional hockey player, to be guarded with the media. I’ve worked hard to cover up the mistakes of my youth. But when I’m traded to the Florida Fury, where my ex-best friend is the starting right wing, I’m forced to confront my past. Ford and I have history, especially when it comes to his little sister, Imogen. My heart still lurches in my chest when I see her. My hands want to reach out, and my mouth wants to keep apologizing. She’s the only woman who ever made me want more - and the one who fell victim to my most regrettable decision.

Christmas is the last thing on my mind when the heating breaks in the dorms, and I’m stuck with nowhere to go. My parents kicked me out years ago, and I’ve spent every holiday since pretending it doesn’t bother me. But now I’m facing an empty campus and the coldest holiday of my life... until Coach Eric steps in. He offers me a place to stay, but there’s a catch. Eric isn’t just my coach. He’s the one person I should never be anywhere near in this way. The more time we spend together, the harder it gets to ignore the tension between us. His kindness makes me question ...

The first time I set foot in Fire Chief Declan Everhart's small town, he declared me trouble. Maybe it's because I'm a pop star hiding in his house for the holiday season. Or maybe it's the way I can't help but tease the Grinch. More than likely, though, it's because his best friend Cade touched me right in front of him, lighting a fire so hot it threatens to incinerate us all. Now, I can't keep my hands to myself.

Getting engaged wasn’t on my Santa list. I wanted cocoa, fuzzy socks, maybe eight hours of sleep. Not a fake fiancé with forearms that have their own fan base and a smile that ruins common sense. My grandmother’s will says: “engaged by New Year’s or lose the twelve-million-dollar trust.” So I do what any not-panicking, rational woman would: I proposition my coworker.

It started innocently enough with a harmless inquiry about a cute guy at a coffee shop. The goal was to get back into the romance game. The search turned into a social media frenzy. #DesperatelySeekingDane was not available. Talk about a buzzkill. Just when I thought things couldn't become more dramatic, a TV production company reached out to me as a last-minute contestant in a dating contest because of my five minutes of online fame. It was an instant yes because one of the three bachelors was a major movie star and my lifelong crush.

I hate hockey. Unfortunately, hockey is my family’s religion—and my hometown’s entire personality. When my older brother calls and says the Rinkrats are about to be sold, I should hang up. I escaped this town, this team, and my “perfect omega daughter” role years ago. Instead, I get on a plane. Now I’m back in Puckridge, population: hockey, gossip, and bad decisions. My brother’s coaching the failing team. My ex—the one who chose the sport over me—is the captain trying to hold the locker room together with duct tape and rage. And the franchise?

Vincent Lorena DeVitto and I don’t exactly see eye to eye. As the captain of the college hockey team, I’m used to being at the top, and she’s the kind of person who lives to challenge me. She’s loud, opinionated, and always looking to tear me down, whether it’s in class, at a game, or just crossing paths on the campus. So when I spot her at the secret Christmas kinky party, I see it as the perfect opportunity to show her exactly who’s in charge. There’s just one catch—she doesn’t realize it’s me. Tonight, I’m not Vincent Headley. I’m Santa. And I’m going to enjoy ...

'Tis the season to be tempted. All Beth Michaels wants for Christmas is a fresh start.

I was born an Arden. I chose to be Solace. I know how parties work: wear a green dress, let them get the good angles, force a smile that doesn’t crack. Then someone tries to make me the headline—and four men step in like a wall I didn’t ask for and a door I didn’t know I could open.

Pax writes rules on rooms and keeps the door. We build a small, strange holiday: cocoa, lights, music—and consent. We reclaim a ...
