Pucks and Presents

It's the most wonderful time of the year... to end up snowed in with your ex-boyfriend's brother.

Clay Barlowe's NHL career ended the night his knee gave out. One torn ACL was bad enough. The second? Game over.

Now he's the guy with a reputation—grumpy, stubborn, hotheaded. Every teammate would agree he's impossible, and he hasn't bothered to prove them wrong. Coaching might be his second chance… if he can avoid distractions and keep the rumors under wraps.

Which is why being snowed in with Tessa St. James is a temptation he can't afford.

Their families spent every Christmas together. Everyone thought she'd grow up to marry Clay's brother. No one knew her heart quietly belonged to Clay.

She's sunshine, sugar cookies, and Christmas cheer. He's a grinch, cold as ice, with more coal than candy canes.

When one kiss melts the line between right and wrong, Tessa isn't just snowed in…

She's stuck in the sin bin with the scrooge.

And this holiday season, the only thing at risk is her heart.

Sin Bin with the Scrooge is a standalone snowed-in, forced proximity, only-one-bed Christmas romance with an ex-boyfriend's pro-hockey player brother.
