She’s his best friend’s sister… and the Christmas present he never saw coming.
Taytum Knight has always played it safe. She loves her students, her job as a teacher, and her close-knit family. Romance has never been high on her wish list, no matter how much her family hints that she should settle down like her brother.Pavel Nikitin, former goalie for the Cleveland Vortex, is ready for a fresh start–with a new team, a new city, and a new outlook on life. Watching his old teammates find love has him wondering if maybe it’s finally his turn.
When he spots her across a crowded club just days before Christmas, the world around him fades. One look, and he’s completely undone.
Taytum isn’t the type to go home with a stranger, but there’s something about Pavel that makes her throw caution to the snowy wind. For one magical night, she lets herself believe in a spark that feels like it could be fate.
But when morning comes, reality hits harder than a slapshot—her mystery man is her brother’s best friend.
Snowed in by a blizzard and surrounded by the glow of a cozy fire, what began as a fleeting Christmas fling starts to feel like something much more–a chance at love.
Maybe this holiday season, love won’t be something Taytum keeps on the bench… maybe it’ll be the greatest gift of all.
