USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid delivers a sexy opposites-attract winter romance between a shy goaltender and his charming All-Star teammate.

For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary Brocos’ farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong “don’t talk to me” vibes. The only player on the team who doesn’t seem to notice is Calgary’s superstar young winger, Casey Hicks.

Casey greets Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s a relentless chatterbox, endlessly charming, and completely laid back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to. They couldn’t have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that’s not a hotel room and Casey has just bought a massive house—and hates being alone.

A casual roommate situation turns into sharing a bed (for reasons!), turns into flirting, turns into spending Christmas—and all the love, light and joy of the season—together. Officially boyfriends, Casey and Landon tackle the new year ecstatic and besotted…until the Broncos’ backup goalie recovers and Landon’s time in Calgary is meant to come to an end.
