Showing results for "Christmas" in Sports

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.

The holiday spirit is the last thing on my mind, and he's focused on his new beginning. But one mistletoe moment might change everything. Callie: Spending the holidays alone for the first time in four years wasn't exactly on my wish list. But with a major shake-up at work and more changes than I...

After my mother was diagnosed with cancer last year, she has been on my siblings and me to get married.

My family knows that my life is invested in hockey, yet they still continue to push. I can’t show up at my brother’s wedding alone and deal with their disappointment. Instead, I need to find someone who will pretend to be my girlfriend for the week. Sydney Phillips is the perfect candidate.

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...

GIN: Dank Tanner Fairfield, der von einem verfeindeten Footballteam zu den New York City Skyliners gewechselt ist, verlasse ich deren Stadion mit einer Gehirnerschütterung. Was in der Vorweihnachtszeit genauso ärgerlich ist wie die unfreiwillige öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit. Seine Fürsorge kann sich dieser Vollidiot deshalb sonst wo hinstecken und das sage ich ihm auch. Trotzdem lässt Tanner nicht locker, kümmert sich, überrascht mich. Und mit einem Mal ist da mehr zwischen uns als besinnliche Stimmung. Ein heißes Prickeln, dem wir beide nicht widerstehen können.

Don't tell a soul, but I walked away from my NHL career for one reason: Josie Richards. Fifteen years younger, yet she owns me in ways no one could understand. She's my enemy on ice—a figure skating ice queen with a rebellious streak that makes more than my palm twitch. But after her ice skating accident, she's broken. Fear controls her now, and I'm done watching her drawn in it. I'm her new coach—on and off the ice—and I'll drag her back to the top if it's the last thing I do. What didn't I expect? Knocking her up. I thought raising my niece prepared me for fatherhood.

He's off-limits, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to string him up like tinsel on a Christmas tree and have my merry way with him! This Christmas, I'm heading home for some quality family time. The only hitch? York Steele, the heartthrob center for the Colorado Blizzard hockey team, will be there too. My dad's been the Blizzard's coach for as long as I can remember, and York is his prized player. So, I'll be spending the holidays sipping peppermint mochas and trying not to imagine York as my very own gift under the tree.

When Micah and Memphis Blackwood landed in my ER, I had no clue they played for my Dad's hockey team. Daddy always told me to stay away from his players, but I've never been good at following his rules. The twins are double the trouble with broad shoulders, rock-hard abs, and killer smiles. They had me screaming their names and begging for more.

One blizzard. One cabin. One uninvited hockey player. Ho, ho, humbug. Normally, I love Christmas. The lights, the snow, the cozy traditions. Then my parents divorced. Intent to avoid awkward holiday drama, I head to our family's secluded cabin for a nice, relaxing week alone. At least that's the plan until Ryder Hanson shows up uninvited and dressed like a serial killer.

I was just trying to rebuild my life after everything fell apart. Moving in with Troy—the grumpy hockey star—wasn't part of my fresh start plan. Neither was falling for him and his tattooed playboy roommate, Jamie—a goalie god with muscles for days. But these men came to my rescue… in the bedroom, the kitchen, against the wall... they rescued me again and again. I couldn't help but fall head over heels. When a surprise baby is dropped on their doorstep, it seems they need me as much as I need them.

Coming back to my hometown wasn’t part of my Christmas game plan. Neither was coaching my old high school’s hockey team or crossing paths with Colette McAllister, the Ice Queen of Brooking Sound. Back in high school, she was my biggest crush—and my brother’s biggest fan. Now, she’s all sharp glares, sarcastic quips, and a refusal to admit how much fun she’s having making my life miserable. But when my buddy Tucker bets I can’t get Colette to go on a date and kiss me under the mistletoe by Christmas Eve, I can’t resist.

I hate Christmas. Years and years of disappointment have taught me that Christmas is the worst. I don't like the music, the food, the decorations…anything. And Lincoln Daniels, my tattooed hockey god of a husband, thinks he's going to change that… I tell him it's not going to happen.
