Scoring the Holiday Hat Trick
(2025)(The second book in the Frost & Fire series)
A novel by Harley Storm
He broke her heart once. Now he's her fake boyfriend for a week—and he's not letting her go again.
Sloane Mercer hasn't been home in five years. Not since Cal Reeves, her brother's best friend and the only man she's ever loved, walked away without looking back.
But when her brother's Christmas wedding forces them together, Cal makes her an offer she can't refuse: fake date him for the week, keep her ex at bay, and go their separate ways when it's over.
Except nothing about being close to Cal again feels fake.
Every stolen touch. Every heated look. Every moment reminds her why she fell for the cocky hockey player in the first place—and why losing him nearly destroyed her.
Cal knows he doesn't deserve a second chance. He made the biggest mistake of his life five years ago, and he's spent every day since regretting it. But now that Sloane's back in his arms, even temporarily, he's done pretending. Done walking away.
He's fighting for her. For them. For the future they should have had all along.
But when a devastating secret from their past surfaces—one that changes everything they thought they knew—can they survive the truth? Or will five years of hurt prove too much to overcome?
She's the one that got away. He's the man who let her go. This Christmas, they're getting a second chance at forever.
If they're brave enough to take it.
Genre: Romance
