"The only thing colder than the ice I skate on is my heart. Especially at Christmas.
We're having a horrible season and when my team is struggling, I hold myself accountable. All I want to do is work harder on the ice. I definitely don't need Felicity Roarke, the team's Community Outreach director, distracting me. But there she is, handing out candy canes and decorating our locker room like a rabid, little Christmas elf. A very attractive, unintentionally sexy elf. I make sure I draw her name in the staff's Secret Santa exchange and start brainstorming the worst gift ideas ever. My goal is to throw cold water all over her holiday spirit. But somehow, things between us end up getting hotter. Suddenly I'm unable to focus on anything but proving to Felicity that she wants a Grinch in her life. Or at least in her bed.

"All it took was a blizzard and a pair of sky-blue eyes to break me.
I had one rule when I decided to rent out the ground level of my house—keep it professional. So I have no idea why I told the hospital to call my new tenant, Logan Hawkins, when I ended up unconscious in the snow. It was impossible to keep my distance from the brooding single dad after he came to my rescue.
My past is tragic with a capital T so I decide to keep it to myself for as long as I can. That way maybe Logan won't run, like everyone else. I want his touch . . . his love. Not his sympathy.
But he's been keeping secrets of his own. The more time we spend together the more I want to confess, and I want to know what has been turning those sky-blue eyes stormy when he thinks I'm not looking.
They say the truth will set you free, but in this case, it might shatter what's left of my fragile heart.

"I married the wrong brother, but for the right reasons.
My life was a mess when I started working at Hawkins Lobster Shack. Declan Hawkins was a mess too, and he swore marrying would solve both our problems. He wasn't wrong. And I wasn't unhappy. There was love. It was good . . . until it wasn't.
Now my marriage is over, and my husband left town, leaving me alone to face the confused and hurt faces of our friends and his family.
So, when his brother Finn suggests he become my fake husband so we can take that vacation Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins won, I don't say no. I need a break from the judging eyes of Ocean Pines.
Pretending Finn's my husband is playing with fire because my long-buried feelings for him are coming back to life.
And I still have secrets to keep. Secrets that aren't mine to share. Secrets that, if revealed, could burn this small town, and any feelings Finn might have for me, to the ground.

"I thought proving myself worthy of her love would be the hard part. If only . . .
When I left my childhood small town, I had a lot to prove. Now, I have a lot to fix. Namely, my relationship with my best friends' little sister.
We were just kids when I rejected Terra. Even then, I knew I was nowhere near good enough for her.
I was sure I'd eventually forget her. But a decade later, working as a firefighter, the one flame I can't put out is the one I hold for her.
So I'm back in Ocean Pines, but Terra's moved on with someone who doesn't have my history of bad decisions and impulsive behavior. And as if all that wasn't enough, she's sick. I'll give her a kidney, my heart, the last breath in my lungs . . . anything she wants.
I'll do anything to save her life, even if it means watching her live it without me.
