Perfectly Secret Christmas Romance
(2026)(The sixth book in the Perfect Crush Hockey Romance series)
A novel by Grace Worthington
Her Christmas wish is a promotion.
Falling for the goalie would get her fired.
Athletic trainer Gabriella Martin has worked too hard to let anything derail her career. So when a fortune cookie predicts she’ll fall in love before the year is over, she laughs it off.Then goalie Miles Morgan starts showing up and giving her the Christmas she’s wanted since she was a kid. Christmas lights. Holiday traditions. And too many moments that make her wonder what would happen if she broke the one rule that would cost her everything.
Miles knows better than to fall for someone he works with. Unfortunately, he’s broken that rule about a hundred times in his head. Keeping those feelings secret is easy enough when there’s an entire hockey rink between them.
Then he brings her to Vermont for Christmas. Now she’s baking with his family, stealing his favorite shirts, and standing under the mistletoe way too much. Keeping his feelings hidden was a lot easier before they were spending every day together.
Maybe the biggest risk isn’t breaking the rules. It’s letting Gabriella walk away without ever knowing she’s the one he wants.
