Blue line Christmas
(2025)(The first book in the Frostbite Falls Warriors series)
A novel by Adriana Steel
Ten years ago, Hudson Pierce left Willow Anderson at the altar.
One text message. One shattered dream. One town that never forgot.
Now he's back—broke, injured, and coaching the minor league team in the hometown he swore he'd never return to. The only place to stay? Willow's struggling inn. The woman he destroyed is now his landlord.
She's built a life without him. A successful business. A beautiful nine-year-old daughter. A heart protected by walls he put there.
But Hudson sees the truth in those familiar blue-green eyes. The daughter who knows everything about his hockey career. The girl who looks exactly like him.
Willow kept his daughter a secret for nine years. She had her reasons—good ones. He changed his number. Never looked back. Never knew she tried to tell him.
Now he knows. And he's not leaving. Not this town. Not this team. Not his daughter.
And definitely not Willow.
She gave him one chance, and he threw it away for fame and glory. Why should she believe he's changed? Why should she risk her heart—and their daughter's—on a man who's already proven he'll choose hockey over everything?
He left her once. She survived.
But can she survive him staying?
Can two broken hearts build something stronger than what they lost? Or are some mistakes too big to forgive?
Genre: Romance
