Boxing Day

Boxing Day

by Jen Cooper

“Spread your legs, Millie.”

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.

And he was training me in secret.

When I entered the Boxing Day tournament to save my bakery, my whole family bet against me. If my dad found out Leo was coaching me to win, he’d fire Leo and disown me forever.

Imagine what he’d do if he knew what else was going on between us.

Leo kicked my feet apart and gave me a smirk I knew was going to cause trouble. “Good girl.”

But I was starting to think a little trouble was worth it.

Breaking Ice

Breaking Ice

by Kiara Colón

Bexley Evans lives for the ice, pouring everything into figure skating. For years, she’s quietly loved Michael, the charismatic captain of her university’s hockey team—until that crush costs her the unthinkable. Michael is her sister’s boyfriend, and wanting him fractures a bond Bexley never meant to break. Jeremiah Redd, Michael’s best friend and the team’s strongest defenseman, arrives from Tennessee chasing his own hockey dreams and a place on the national stage. He’s also been in love with Bexley far longer than she realizes. Caught between loyalty, ambition, and buried feelings, Jeremiah knows one truth she doesn’t yet see: she’s skating toward the wrong man—and the right one has been beside her all along.

The Ice Beneath Us

The Ice Beneath Us

by Elara Richards

Theo Reid, the star captain of the Stormhawks Ice Hockey Team, lives for the thrill of the game—until he keeps colliding off the ice with someone just as fiery: Victoria Hales, the sharp-tongued, no-nonsense assistant coach of their biggest rival team the Thunderwolves. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and every run-in is a battle of wills… and barely contained chemistry.

What starts as banter turns into stolen moments, late-night phone calls, truths unveiled and passion that neither of them can ignore.

Theo and Tori find themselves tangled in something far deeper than rivalry. As the playoffs heat up, so does their connection. Their love story is spicy, soul-bearing, and totally off-limits… but some lines are meant to be crossed.

The Night We Met

The Night We Met

by Talia Sommers

Rory is certain of one thing: love is not for her. Not the soft, dreamy kind people write about. So when she agrees to a blind date, it is only to prove her point and keep her best friend happy. Then she meets Max, and suddenly nothing feels quite so simple. There is an easy spark, a pull she did not plan for, and a tension that keeps her coming back for more. As her feelings shift in ways she cannot ignore, old wounds begin to surface, especially the quiet ache left by her distant mother. Between laughter, confusion, and moments that feel a little too real, Rory starts to wonder if love might not be the story she thought it was.

A Wild Raven

A Wild Raven

by C. Swallow

My father died when I was a baby.

My mother died when I was two.

I grew up in foster care, constantly shifting between families.

I’m twenty-three now, and still moving from place to place. If there’s a ranch or a farm that needs an extra set of hands, I’m there.

But my greatest wish? To find my forever family.

The job at the Devonshire Ranch is only supposed to last through Christmas. But for the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave.

Maybe it’s the family that doesn’t treat me like an outsider. Maybe it’s the bond that’s grown between me and the horses.

Or maybe it’s Coal Wilde and his dark stare. His skin glistening in the winter sun. His warm hand on my thigh, waiting for me to ask for more.

Will this be the Christmas I get my wish?
