Sticking to the Claus: A Sweet Holiday Hockey RomCom

When the coach’s daughter and the team prankster collide under the mistletoe, Christmas magic turns into a forbidden holiday romance that breaks all the rules.

Gemma:

As a professional holiday decorator and the daughter of Blue Ridge’s strictest hockey coach, I live by two rules: make everything sparkle, and never, ever date a hockey player.

My business, Gemma’s Garland, keeps me safely behind the scenes, turning the town into a winter wonderland while I keep my distance from my father’s team.

That is, until Duke Taylor catches me red-handed (or rather, red-booted) decorating the players’ lounge. Between his dimpled smile and the mistletoe he’s suspiciously hanging over my father’s office door, I should run the other way. Instead, I find myself agreeing to work with him on the team’s Christmas party decorations.

What I don’t expect is discovering that Duke—the notorious team prankster with unexpected poetry skills—is actually the mysterious man I’ve been flirting with online for weeks.

As stolen kisses and decorating appointments that turn into dates heat up the holidays, we’re playing a dangerous, forbidden game.

Then when stuck together in a luxury cabin after an avalanche wipes out the road, and my father finds me and Duke together. Suddenly, his career is on the line, and I have to decide if I’m going to stick to the clause or finally follow my heart…

Trigger warnings: This book contains one sassy heroine with plenty of sarcasm and wit, too many tinsel references, and smoking hot kissing (but nothing more!). Read at the risk of your own enjoyment.
