Justin: As a hockey player, I'm used to playing through pain. But when I punch my teammate at practice, breaking my hand and ending my team's playoff hopes, I find out that emotional pain is not something I can ignore. So now I'm back in my hometown, where I made the hard choice between family and love eleven years ago.
Mia: I'm struggling to keep so many balls in the air I don't have a moment for myself: my job, my six-year-old son, supporting my family. I'm not happy that my famous ex — the NHL player — is back, and people want to dig up our past.
Backup goalie Braydon Mitchell finds himself fake-dating woman hockey player Jayna when a terrible misstep after his Blaze hockey debut risks his budding career. He can't explain; there's a secret reason behind his actions that would hurt other people. Turns out, Jayna's the best thing that's happened to him.
But when the team says the fake relationship is over, what are they willing to sacrifice to make it real?
Star Blaze defenseman Cooper (Coop) has it all: the pro hockey career, the looks, the endorsements, the money, the good taste. Offering to help the awkward red-head in the horrible dress fit in with her law firm's golf tournament is the least he could do.
But Callie might have a few things to teach him as well.
Josh (Ducky) Middleton thought he was doing the best thing for his high school girlfriend when he broke up with her before the hockey draft. Meeting Katie five years later, he finds out he was so wrong. For so many reasons.
Now, can the star forward convince her that he's learned his lesson and is worth a second chance?
Forward Alek (Denny) Denbrowski has had to deal with the fallout of his parent's criminal history his entire hockey career, so being traded back to Toronto where it all happened is anything but good news. Then he finds out his one-night stand was not only his teammate's sister, but their family are one of the victims of his parents.
Should be easy not to go there again with Jess, and yet…
Third line forward Phin (Bongo) Collins just wants to avoid his family at Christmas. Sliding into a ditch was not in his plans. Neither is the tow truck driver being Skye, the girl from the cottage next door, who hates him now. And most of all, he never expects the two of them to get snowed in together.
But maybe that gives them time to figure out what went wrong…
Mike (Iceman) Reimer is dealing with the fall out of a playing crisis and a trade, putting at risk a potential Hall of Fame goalie career. He doesn't need distractions…especially when they involve hot tempered red-headed swimming coaches kidnapping him to play road hockey.
Bridget turns out to be just what he needs…but maybe he's not the same for her?
Troy Green is putting his life back together after cancer. He needs to prove to the hockey world, and himself, that he's the same top defenseman he was before. Something that isn't helped when his new neighbor, Michelle, puts him on the ground at their first meeting.
The army widow/single mom is determined to stand on her own…unless he can convince her he's worth the risk.
Set in Sarina Bowen's world of THE TRUE NORTH. Goalie Faith Devereaux didn't want to go to the same college as her cheating ex, Seb, but she wasn't turning down the best opportunity to play hockey because of him. Except…maybe she didn't get the real story.
Daniel (Remi) Rempel is desperately hanging on to his career as a backup goalie as long as he can. Even when he ends up in Austin and being coached by his former rival. The guy with control over his future is not happy that Remy is living beside his ex-wife, Sophie.
Defenseman Taranis (Jonesy) Jones was always a misfit at the holidays, thanks to a complicated family history. But he was fine with that. Until Penny visits his teammate and sees through his unbothered façade and decides this year, he deserves something more for Christmas.
