Hockey Holiday

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. Kade smells like iron and winter and stands behind me without crowding. Niall laughs at danger and then makes it behave. Silas touches code the way other people touch skin. Pax writes rules on rooms and keeps the door. We build a small, strange holiday: cocoa, lights, music—and consent. We reclaim a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

He was my brother’s best friend. A six-foot-three hockey player with steel-blue eyes. Logan Brooks, the boy who kissed me under rink lights and Broke my heart the night his NHL career went up in flames. Ten years later, I’m back in the small town I swore I’d never see again. Pretending he was only a footnote in my medical school journey. Heart guarded. Plans temporary. But the storm of the century has other plans. My hospital’s flooding. His arena’s in ruins. And one grant can save either… not both. The board makes us work together. Smile for the cameras, sell the perfect #...

She ran away to the mountains to get over one athlete, little did she know she’d wind up with two! Andrea My mother always told me to avoid professional athletes, but did I listen?

Faced with the prospect of being alone for the holidays, I decide to escape to the mountains for a little ‘me time’. There’s just one problem. I’m not exactly cut out for country living.

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? One bad season away from ...

An enemies to lovers Christmas romance with a single mom & a NHL hockey coach! The last thing Hannah needs is to have the hunky bane of her existence move in next door. But he did.

Ellie Klein fled Vermont after graduating high school, and she hasn't been back since. Not to see her overbearing parents nor her distant brother, not even to visit her temperamental cat and beloved dog. And most importantly, she hasn't been back to see Theo Fox. Her first love and brother's best friend has been but a distant and painful memory for the last seven years. When Ellie's travel site lands her back where it all began, her goal is to get in and out without seeing anyone from before. But life has other plans.

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.

I’m a mafia princess. The arena darling. One omega who was never supposed to belong to anyone but a stranger in a tailored suit. And then my heat hits in the middle of a sold-out hockey game. One minute the crowd is screaming for their hometown heroes. The next, five alphas on the ice smell me—and the entire team falls apart. The captain misses an easy play, eyes locked on the glass where I’m pressed. The enforcer levels the wrong man just to get between me and the boards. The star center fumbles a puck he could handle in his sleep. The Russian import hits the wall so hard the arena ...

The night I get assigned three bodyguards, I’m just trying to keep my dad’s players in one piece. I’m the coach’s omega daughter and the assistant trainer—tape on my fingers, stopwatch around my neck, always on the bench or in the tunnel. On paper, I’m staff.
