Can a sugar-adverse grumpy hockey player win a sweet and sassy baker's heart? Anna Martin has awesome friends and a successful bakery, but her life imploded when her fiancé ran off with his dental hygienist. She's over it, but the last thing she wants is a relationship. When her besties buy her a date with Santa at the Stampede charity auction, she agrees to go. It’s ice skating and hot cocoa, for a good cause. Plus she'll never turn down chocolate. Nick St. John, annoyingly referred to as Santa by his teammates, is anything but jolly. He's far more bitter than sweet—he even hates sugar. He has no time for dates or anything else that isn’t hockey. Their charity date is a disaster, so why can't Nick get Anna off his mind? He remembers what a wreck he was when his ex called things off. He's kept his heart on ice for eight long years, but the only things Anna's icing are baked goods. She's...happy. And her warmth, her intoxicating smile—everything about her has him melting in every possible way. He’s falling for her. She wants him. Will they risk their hearts and give in to love or will they freeze each other out? Tropes: Grumpy/sunshine Opposites Attract Epic banter Team shenanigans
Author
USA Today Bestselling Author, Stephanie Kay has always loved a good romance, and she got hooked on the dirty ones at the tender age of 14, when she told her mother that if the cover wasn’t a bodice ripper, then there was no sex in the book. As an avid mystery reader, her mother never checked to see if Stephanie was lying. Twenty plus years later, Stephanie’s most prized possession is her Kindle, and she may have a Hallmark movie obsession. She has called California, Maryland, and Rhode Island her home, but now lives in New Hampshire with her husband where she asks him incessant questions until he escapes to go hiking in the mountains. That’s the only time she can get him out of the house so she can get her writing in. Married couples shouldn’t both work from home! Sports were never her thing, but after beta reading for another hockey author and buying NHL Game Center within one month of watching her first hockey game a few years ago, she dove into learning everything she could about the sport and the hot men that play it. Now she spends her spare time visiting hockey arenas in the name of research and loving every second of it. You can find her online at www.stephkaybooks.com, and on Facebook and Twitter.
