A novel by Harley Storm
He left her eight years ago to chase his NHL dream.
She raised their son alone, never telling him the truth.
Now he's back—sober, desperate, and determined to be the father he never knew existed.
Phoenix Harding destroyed everything.
Former NHL star turned addict, he hit rock bottom hard. Three years sober and nowhere else to turn, he returns to the small Colorado town he abandoned—and comes face-to-face with Celeste Morrison, the woman whose heart he shattered.
And the seven-year-old boy who has his eyes.
Celeste Morrison built a life without him.
Single mother, lodge owner, survivor. She's spent eight years protecting her son from the truth about his father. But now Phoenix is back, coaching Jasper's hockey team, proving he's changed, and breaking down every wall she's built around her heart.
He wants forgiveness. She wants guarantees he'll stay.
Their son wants a father for Christmas.
As Phoenix fights for a second chance and Celeste battles between fear and hope, one question remains: Can love survive the damage of the past? Or will old wounds destroy the family they're desperately trying to build?
In Aurora Ridge, Christmas miracles are real. But only if you're brave enough to believe.
Can a broken man become the father—and husband—his family deserves?
