When pro-hockey players Miles Robinson and Cole Ackerman hit the ice, their competition is fierce—but away from the rink, their friendship runs deeper than any rivalry. This holiday season, a canceled flight leaves Cole stranded with Miles during Christmas and Hanukkah, reigniting old feelings that both have kept buried for years. As laughter, memories, and the magic of the holidays bring them closer than ever, a Christmas Eve kiss changes everything. Can two best friends risk their hearts and take a shot at the love they’ve always wanted?
This heartwarming Hockey Hearts holiday novella is packed with competitive banter, sweet family moments, Lego gifts, baked goodies, and a sweet HEA.
