Mistletoe Match Penalty
(2025)(The third book in the Winterhaven Wolves series)
A novel by Adriana Steel
She lost everything on the ice. Three hockey players might help her find it again.
Quinn Gallagher's Olympic dreams shattered with her ankle seven years ago. Now she coaches figure skaters in a small New England town, rebuilding champions since she couldn't become one. When budget cuts threaten to eliminate her program, she proposes the impossible: a Christmas ice show featuring her skaters and the local semi-pro hockey team.
It's her program's only shot at survival.
Gage Winters, team captain, is drowning in responsibility. Holding together a struggling hockey team while managing yet another crisis feels like too much—until he meets the figure skating coach fighting just as hard as he is. She makes him want to share the burden instead of carrying it alone.
Ryder James buried his figure skating past when his partner abandoned him years ago. Switching to hockey meant never looking back. But when Quinn discovers his secret, she sees all of him—the artist and the athlete. For the first time in nine years, he feels whole.
Beckett Lawson has been invisible as the team's equipment manager, content to support from the shadows. When injuries force him onto the ice, Quinn sees potential everyone else missed. She makes him feel worthy of being seen.
As rehearsals bring them together and attraction ignites, Quinn faces an impossible choice—except these three men aren't asking her to choose. They're offering her everything.
Can a woman who lost her dreams on the ice find the courage to fly again? And can three hockey players catch her when she does?
