Clay Barlowe’s NHL career ended the night his knee gave out. One torn ACL was bad enough. The second? Game over. Now he’s the guy with a reputation—grumpy, stubborn, hotheaded. Every teammate would agree he’s impossible, and he hasn’t bothered to prove them wrong. Coaching might be his second chance…if he can avoid distractions and keep the rumors under wraps. Which is why being snowed in with Tessa St. James is a temptation he can’t afford. Their families spent every Christmas together. Everyone thought she’d grow up to marry Clay’s brother. No one knew her heart quietly belonged to Clay. She’s sunshine, sugar cookies, and Christmas cheer. He’s a grinch, cold as ice, with more coal than candy canes. When one stolen kiss under the mistletoe leads to one night ...

Focusing on himself seemed like a brilliant idea, but that was before he laid eyes on his new roommate. Accidental c...
