Christmas with the Rebel Rookie

This Christmas, a bad boy hockey player gets the gift he never saw coming—one weekend, one bed, and one forbidden fling… with the coach’s daughter. SIERRA All I need this Christmas is a break. Not the breakdown I get when my car goes kaput outside Hope Peak and a sexy Santa comes to my rescue. Turns out he’s Shiloh Gagne—the irritatingly hot rebel rookie I’ve avoided all season—and he’s willing to help me out… if I’ll help him holiday-ify his house before his nephew arrives. I should walk away, not fall face-first into one bed in a mistletoe-induced madness with a younger man who’s absolutely off-limits. But a holiday hookup, I can handle—as long as no one finds out and I don’t fall for the man behind the bad boy bravado. SHILOH I stopped believing in Christmas magic a long time ago. But I’ll do anything for my nephew, including faking a festive feel to keep the little guy happy. When I pull over to help a stranded stranger, I’m floored to find Sierra Darby–Coach’s perfectly curvy daughter–stuck in Hope Peak for the holidays. Before I can blink, the older, bossy beauty I’ve obsessed over all year is decking my halls and sugardusting my space like she belongs here–in my house, in my bed, breaking every damn don’t-touch rule right alongside me. And by the end of the weekend, my holiday humbug turns into hopes for a Christmas miracle. Because the one thing I want this Christmas is to keep her long after the lights come down.
