Phin
The Christmas hockey break came at just the right time. I wanted to avoid my family's Christmas plans and rest my shoulder, so I drove out of the city to spend the holidays at the cottage. I didn't expect a snowfall to blow up into a storm, or to land in the ditch. I also didn't expect the tow driver who came to rescue me to be the girl from the cottage next door. The anger she blazed at me? Also unexpected.
When we get snowed in together, I have my chance to find out why.

Phin Collins' face was on a dartboard in our family garage. Finding out he is the reason I was dragged out in a snowstorm two days before Christmas was infuriating. Especially when he asked me to drop him at the 'cottage' his family had built after forcing us to sell ours. But the kicker was when the power lines came down, and I was forced to shelter in their McMansion cottage during the storm.
I was worried about controlling my temper. I didn't realize our chemistry would be the problem
Remy
For the last twenty years, hockey has been my life. As a thirty-two-year-old backup goalie, on what could be my final contract, I need to game time if I hope to get an offer next year. Problem? The goalie coach is a former rival, and he’s not happy I’m living next door to his ex-wife. My career is in his hands, so the smart play is to keep her at arms length.
It would be easier if she wasn’t so kind, to me and my rescue dog. She’s the most amazing woman I’ve met, but this can’t go anywhere. Her dreams are in Austin, and if the Aces let me go, my hockey career is over and I have no legal standing to be in the country.
She’s from a family of famous people, her ex was a better goalie than me, and I have nothing to offer, but my stupid heart won’t let go.
Sophie
I’m surrounded by superstars, including my ex-husband, so I’m used to being in the shadows, fixing guitars out of the limelight. I want to expand my business, but without my family’s support, I’m doing it the hard way. Then Remy moves into the apartment over my workshop, and my ex freaks out.
Remy’s only here for the season, and spending time with me could hurt his career, so obviously we should ignore everything that’s pulling us together. But he’s the first person in a long time to see me, not the famous people around me. And when I need to feel desirable after a horrible evening, he makes me feel irresistible.
How can I ask him to risk his hockey dreams when being with me is career suicide?

Justin
As a hockey player, I’m used to playing through pain. But when I punch my teammate at practice, breaking my hand and ending my team’s playoff hopes, I find out that emotional pain is not something I can ignore in the long-term.
So now I’m back in my hometown, where I made the hard choice between family and love eleven years ago. My therapist wants me to face up to the past. It’s not easy. My parents avoid discussing what they did, and the team hired the woman I left behind to help my recovery.
I can deal with my parents. But seeing Mia again stirs up old feelings. Strong ones. I’m trying to change, but if I have to make the same choice, is a different outcome possible?
Mia
I’m struggling to keep so many balls in the air I don’t have a moment for myself: my job, my six-year-old son, supporting my family including a horrible stepfather, increasingly incapacitated mother and selfish siblings. It’s a lot. I’m exhausted.
I’m not happy that my famous ex, the NHL player, is back, and people want to dig up our past. I definitely don’t want to spend time with him. But he needs someone he can trust to help while he’s rehabbing a broken hand. It’s the work I do, and it’s an easy job, so I finally agree.
Spending time together reminds me why we fell in love all those years ago, but he has to return to Toronto, and I have to stay here. Can I survive choosing family over him again? Do I have a choice?
