A Very Unhinged Christmas: An Age Gap Hockey Romance (Kings of Castlebrook)

She’s his only obsession. His greatest temptation. And now, they’re snowed in together. Cillian Kavanagh is a man of unwavering discipline. Cold. Controlled. Celibate. As the revered hockey coach at Castlebrook University, he commands the ice with precision, never slipping, never losing focus. Except when it comes to the sassy, untouchable pianist living in his spare bedroom. Taking in his best friend’s daughter after her parents vanished was meant to be an act of loyalty. A duty. A promise. But from the moment Cillian met Eleanor Montrose, she became his weakness. His fixation. His ruin. For eight agonizing months, he’s fought the pull toward the girl with the sweetest laugh he’s ever heard. Instead, he’s poured every ounce of discipline into watching over her. Destroying any man who dares to look at her. Protecting her in ways she was never meant to know. But when a Christmas blizzard traps them alone in his remote, one-bedroom cabin, Ellie stumbles upon his darkest secret. Coach Kavanagh has been watching her. Tracking her. Infiltrating every moment she thought was private. She should be afraid. She should run. Instead, she looks up at the only man who has ever made her feel safe with quiet curiosity and unwavering trust. And that’s all it takes to shatter the last thread of Cillian’s restraint. This Christmas… the broody coach will worship her, praise her, claim her in every way he’s imagined. Because the truth is, Ellie Montrose has always belonged to him. View Less
