Mistletoe Face Off

Summary

Note to self: Next time I need a big story, maybe don't pick a fight with a hot hockey player dressed as Santa. Especially if he's hiding something . . .

Holly: My assignment to cover the Chicago Blizzard's Christmas charity events turns unexpectedly into a viral feud with star defenseman Harrison Clarke—in a Santa suit.

It gets weirder. Heard of fake dating? This has now become fake hating, and our staged fights are heating up the media—and with it our unexpected romantic connection. But with my daughter, Macy, my career aspirations, and Harrison's mysterious past in play, this holiday romance might be over before it begins.

Harrison: Playing Santa was supposed to help grease the decision-making wheels and land me the captain's 'C.' Instead, it reunites me with Holly Coleman—my high school crush turned single mom and journalist.

Our argument makes us America's favorite feuding duo, but real feelings begin to complicate the game. Holly sees beyond the hockey player, but my hidden past threatens everything.

This Christmas, I'm attempting the ultimate hat trick: clearing my name, proving I'm captain material, and winning the girl of my dreams.
